Custom roles for SQL Server to Azure Virtual Machines migrations using ADS

  • Članak

This article explains how to set up a custom role in Azure for SQL Server database migrations. The custom role only has the permissions necessary to create and run an instance of Azure Database Migration Service with Azure Virtual Machine as a target.

Use the AssignableScopes section of the role definition JSON string to control where the permissions appear in the Add role assignment UI in the Azure portal. To avoid cluttering the UI with extra roles, you might want to define the role at the level of the resource group, or even the level of the resource. The resource that the custom role applies to doesn't perform the actual role assignment.

{
    "properties": {
        "roleName": "DmsCustomRoleDemoForVM",
        "description": "",
        "assignableScopes": [
            "/subscriptions/<storageSubscription>/resourceGroups/<storageAccountRG>",
            "/subscriptions/<ManagedInstanceSubscription>/resourceGroups/<virtualMachineRG>",
            "/subscriptions/<DMSSubscription>/resourceGroups/<dmsServiceRG>"
        ],
        "permissions": [
            {
                "actions": [
                    "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/read",
                    "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/listkeys/action",
                    "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices/read",
                    "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices/write",
                    "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices/containers/read",
                    "Microsoft.SqlVirtualMachine/sqlVirtualMachines/read",
                    "Microsoft.SqlVirtualMachine/sqlVirtualMachines/write",
                    "Microsoft.DataMigration/locations/operationResults/read",
                    "Microsoft.DataMigration/locations/operationStatuses/read",
                    "Microsoft.DataMigration/locations/sqlMigrationServiceOperationResults/read",
                    "Microsoft.DataMigration/databaseMigrations/write",
                    "Microsoft.DataMigration/databaseMigrations/read",
                    "Microsoft.DataMigration/databaseMigrations/delete",
                    "Microsoft.DataMigration/databaseMigrations/cancel/action",
                    "Microsoft.DataMigration/databaseMigrations/cutover/action",
                    "Microsoft.DataMigration/sqlMigrationServices/write",
                    "Microsoft.DataMigration/sqlMigrationServices/delete",
                    "Microsoft.DataMigration/sqlMigrationServices/read",
                    "Microsoft.DataMigration/sqlMigrationServices/listAuthKeys/action",
                    "Microsoft.DataMigration/sqlMigrationServices/regenerateAuthKeys/action",
                    "Microsoft.DataMigration/sqlMigrationServices/deleteNode/action",
                    "Microsoft.DataMigration/sqlMigrationServices/listMonitoringData/action",
                    "Microsoft.DataMigration/sqlMigrationServices/listMigrations/read",
                    "Microsoft.DataMigration/sqlMigrationServices/MonitoringData/read"
                ],
                "notActions": [],
                "dataActions": [],
                "notDataActions": []
            }
        ]
    }
}

You can use either the Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, Azure CLI, or Azure REST API to create the roles.

You can get a sample script to create a login and provision it with the necessary permissions, for VMware, Hyper-V, or physical servers, using Windows authentication or SQL Server authentication.

Role assignment

To assign a role to a user or an app ID:

  1. In the Azure portal, go to the resource.

  2. In the left menu, select Access control (IAM), and then scroll to find the custom roles you created.

  3. Select the roles to assign, select the user or app ID, and then save the changes.

    The user or app ID now appears on the Role assignments tab.
