    Manages a custom Role Definition, used to assign Roles to Users/Principals. See ‘Understand role definitions’ in the Azure documentation for more details.

    Example Usage

    using Pulumi;
using Azure = Pulumi.Azure;

class MyStack : Stack
{
    public MyStack()
    {
        var primary = Output.Create(Azure.Core.GetSubscription.InvokeAsync());
        var example = new Azure.Authorization.RoleDefinition("example", new Azure.Authorization.RoleDefinitionArgs
        {
            Scope = primary.Apply(primary => primary.Id),
            Description = "This is a custom role created",
            Permissions = 
            {

    RoleDefinition Resource Properties

    To learn more about resource properties and how to use them, see Inputs and Outputs in the Architecture and Concepts docs.

    Inputs

    In Python, inputs that are objects can be passed either as argument classes or as dictionary literals.

    The RoleDefinition resource accepts the following input properties:

    Scope string
    The scope at which the Role Definition applies to, such as /subscriptions/0b1f6471-1bf0-4dda-aec3-111122223333, /subscriptions/0b1f6471-1bf0-4dda-aec3-111122223333/resourceGroups/myGroup, or /subscriptions/0b1f6471-1bf0-4dda-aec3-111122223333/resourceGroups/myGroup/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/myVM. It is recommended to use the first entry of the assignable_scopes. Changing this forces a new resource to be created.
    AssignableScopes List<string>
