Review fundamental Azure RBAC roles

Completed

Azure provides over 100 pre-defined role definitions. Roles can grant access to data within an object. If a user has read data access to a storage account, then they can read the blobs or messages in the storage account.

The following table describes four built-in role definitions that are considered fundamental.

Fundamental role Description
Owner The Owner role has full access to all resources, including the right to delegate access to others. The Service Administrator and Co-Administrators roles are assigned the Owner role at the subscription scope.
Contributor The Contributor role can create and manage all types of Azure resources. This role can't grant access to others.
Reader The Reader role can view existing Azure resources.
User Access Administrator The User Access Administrator role can manage user access to Azure resources.
