Create and assign a User Assigned Managed Identity

In this how-to guide, you learn how to:

  • Create a User Assigned Managed Identity (UAMI) for your Site Network Service (SNS).
  • Assign that User Assigned Managed Identity permissions.

The requirement for a User Assigned Managed Identity and the required permissions depend on the Network Service Design (NSD) and must have been communicated to you by the Network Service Designer.

Prerequisites

  • You must have created a custom role via Create a custom role. This article assumes that you named the custom role 'Custom Role - AOSM Service Operator access to Publisher.'

  • Your Network Service Designer must have told you which other permissions your Managed Identity requires and which Network Function Definition Version (NFDV) your SNS uses.

  • To perform this task, you need either the 'Owner' or 'User Access Administrator' role over the Network Function Definition Version resource from your chosen Publisher. You also must have a Resource Group over which you have the 'Owner' or 'User Access Administrator' role assignment in order to create the Managed Identity and assign it permissions.

Create a User Assigned Managed Identity

Create a User Assigned Managed Identity. For details, refer to Create a User Assigned Managed Identity for your SNS.

Assign custom role

Assign a custom role to your User Assigned Managed Identity.

Choose scope for assigning custom role

The publisher resources that you need to assign the custom role to are:

  • The Network Function Definition Version(s)

You must decide if you want to assign the custom role individually to this NFDV, or to a parent resource such as the publisher resource group or Network Function Definition Group.

Applying to a parent resource grants access over all child resources. For example, applying to the whole publisher resource group gives the managed identity access to:

  • All the Network Function Definition Groups and Versions.

  • All the Network Service Design Groups and Versions.

  • All the Configuration Group Schemas.

The custom role permissions limit access to the list of the permissions shown here:

  • Microsoft.HybridNetwork/Publishers/NetworkFunctionDefinitionGroups/NetworkFunctionDefinitionVersions/use/action

  • Microsoft.HybridNetwork/Publishers/NetworkFunctionDefinitionGroups/NetworkFunctionDefinitionVersions/read

  • Microsoft.HybridNetwork/Publishers/NetworkServiceDesignGroups/NetworkServiceDesignVersions/use/action

  • Microsoft.HybridNetwork/Publishers/NetworkServiceDesignGroups/NetworkServiceDesignVersions/read

  • Microsoft.HybridNetwork/Publishers/ConfigurationGroupSchemas/read

Note

Do not provide write or delete access to any of these publisher resources.
