Azure Resource Manager

Manage resources as a single unit Role based access and control (RBAC) on groups or resources Billing integrated tagging on groups or resources

What is RBAC Allows secure access with granular permissions to resources Assignable to users, groups or service principals Built-in roles make it easy to get started Role Definitions Describes the set of permissions (e.g. read actions) Can be used in multiple assignments Role Assignments Associate role definitions with an identity (e.g. user/group) at a scope (e.g. resource group) Always inherited – subscription assignments apply to all resources

Demo: Using RBAC and Tags
