How do I configure an Azure role assignment?

To configure an Azure role assignment using Pulumi, you need to define the necessary resources, including the role assignment itself. In this example, we will create a role assignment that grants a user the “Contributor” role for a specific resource group.

Here is a detailed example:

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azureNative from "@pulumi/azure-native";

// Define the resource group
const resourceGroup = new azureNative.resources.ResourceGroup("exampleResourceGroup", {
    location: "WestUS",
});

// Define the role assignment
const roleAssignment = new azureNative.authorization.RoleAssignment("exampleRoleAssignment", {
    principalId: "<USER_OBJECT_ID>", // Replace with the actual user object ID
    roleDefinitionId: "/subscriptions/<SUBSCRIPTION_ID>/providers/Microsoft.Authorization/roleDefinitions/<ROLE_DEFINITION_ID>", // Replace with the actual role definition ID
    scope: resourceGroup.id,
});

// Export the resource group ID
export const resourceGroupId = resourceGroup.id;

In this example:

• We create a resource group named exampleResourceGroup in the “WestUS” region.
• We create a role assignment named exampleRoleAssignment that assigns the “Contributor” role to a user for the created resource group.
• Replace <USER_OBJECT_ID>, <SUBSCRIPTION_ID>, and <ROLE_DEFINITION_ID> with the actual values for your environment.

By following these steps, you have successfully configured an Azure role assignment using Pulumi. This setup ensures that the specified user has the necessary permissions to manage resources within the defined resource group.
