Azure RBAC - modularity and custom roles inheritance

282 views Asked by At

My team and I are handling hundreds of subscriptions that are belonging to different teams. Many of them have different needs in terms of security, services to be used, etc whereas we, as a central platform, also make sure that everyone work with the same baseline (security, monitoring, automation, etc.).

We of course have a need to handle RBAC and we are using custom roles a lot. I was wondering if there was a way to create a custom role based on another one to benefit from "classic inheritance".

So I could create for example a role named "basic_user" that would contains a set of "Actions" and an "advanced_user" could have "basic_user" accesses plus additional ones, and so on with "super_advanced_user".

I know that Microsoft has designed it the opposite way so far, allowing us to assign multiple roles to a given individual/group, but for internal design reasons, we would like to stick to one role assignment for a given recipient (one AAD group containing all people accordingly to their role).

Is this something technically feasible/reproducible or does anyone heard about such a feature ? Or maybe is it something we should not consider because of some reasons you'd want to highlight ?
