Azure Roles and Permissions

This section provides access control requirements for deploying Avi Load Balancer solution in Microsoft Azure.

Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) provides granular access to its resources. This enables configuring various users with IAM roles.

By default, Microsoft Azure has various built-in roles which define the level of access to the resources associated with it. For instance, the reader role has read-only access, whereas the owner role provides complete access.

In addition to built-in roles, Azure allows the creation of custom roles. Along with access permissions, the custom role provides finer control over specific resources. The Avi Load Balancer solution interacts with a multitude of objects in the user’s Azure subscription.
