Azure RBAC
Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a system for managing access to Azure resources by assigning roles to users, groups, or applications at various scopes, such as subscriptions, resource groups, or individual resources. It provides fine-grained access management based on built-in or custom roles that define permissions, enabling secure and compliant cloud operations. RBAC helps enforce the principle of least privilege by ensuring entities only have the permissions necessary for their tasks.
Developers should learn Azure RBAC when building or managing applications on Microsoft Azure to implement secure access controls, comply with organizational policies, and manage multi-tenant environments effectively. It is essential for scenarios like granting developers access to specific resources without exposing sensitive data, automating deployments with service principals, and auditing access in enterprise cloud setups.
