Configuring permissions on Microsoft Azure

Before CloudPoint can protect your Microsoft Azure assets, it must have access to them. You must associate a custom role that CloudPoint users can use to work with Azure assets.

The following is a custom role definition (in JSON format) that gives CloudPoint the ability to:

{ "Name": "CloudPoint Admin",
"IsCustom": true,
"Description": "Necessary permissions for
Azure plug-in operations in CloudPoint",
"Actions": [
"Microsoft.Storage/*/read",
"Microsoft.Compute/*/read",
"Microsoft.Sql/*/read",
"Microsoft.Compute/disks/write",
"Microsoft.Compute/disks/delete",
"Microsoft.Compute/disks/beginGetAccess/action",
"Microsoft.Compute/disks/endGetAccess/action",
"Microsoft.Compute/images/write",
"Microsoft.Compute/images/delete",
"Microsoft.Compute/snapshots/delete",
"Microsoft.Compute/snapshots/write",
"Microsoft.Compute/snapshots/beginGetAccess/action",
"Microsoft.Compute/snapshots/endGetAccess/action",

If CloudPoint extension is installed on a managed Kubernetes cluster in Azure, then the following permissions can also be added before configuring the plugin:

"Microsoft.ContainerService/managedClusters/agentPools/read",
"Microsoft.ContainerService/managedClusters/read",
"Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachineScaleSets/write",
"Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachineScaleSets/delete/action

To create a custom role using powershell, follow the steps in the following Azure documentation:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/tutorial-custom-role-powershell

For example:

New-AzureRmRoleDefinition -InputFile "C:\CustomRoles\ReaderSupportRole.json"

To create a custom role using Azure CLI, follow the steps in the following Azure documentation:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/tutorial-custom-role-cli

For example:

az role definition create --role-definition "~/CustomRoles/
ReaderSupportRole.json"

To use this role, do the following:
