Azure role-based access control

Custom Vision supports Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC), an authorization system for managing individual access to Azure resources. Using Azure RBAC, you can assign different team members different levels of permissions for your Custom Vision projects. For more information on Azure RBAC, see the Azure RBAC documentation.

Add role assignment to Custom Vision resource

Azure RBAC can be assigned to a Custom Vision resource. To grant access to an Azure resource, you add a role assignment.

  1. In the Azure portal, navigate to your specific Custom Vision training resource.

    Note

    You can also set up Azure RBAC for whole resource groups, subscriptions, or management groups. Do this by selecting the desired scope level and then navigating to the desired item (for example, selecting Resource groups and then clicking through to your wanted resource group).

  2. Select Access control (IAM) on the left navigation pane.
  3. Select Add -> Add role assignment.
  4. On the Role tab on the next screen, select a role you want to add.
  5. On the Members tab, select a user, group, service principal, or managed identity.
  6. On the Review + assign tab, select Review + assign to assign the role.

Within a few minutes, the target will be assigned the selected role at the selected scope. For help with these steps, see Assign Azure roles using the Azure portal.
