For users that are assigned only a resource contributor role (such as Storage File Data SMB Share Contributor) the desired outcome is for them to see only the storage resources in Azure to which they are assigned
With this role, users can still see, however, the Subscription ID, a list of devices in Azure Active Directory, can log into Microsoft Intune, etc.
We have tried enabling "Restrict access to Azure Admin Portal" but some details are still visible. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/users-default-permissions#restrict-member-users-default-permissions
I am looking for guidance on how to ensure restricted access for users with a resource contributor role assigned.
Ability to see the existence of an Azure subscription when you have any role assigned to a resource in the subscription is special behavior provided by ARM to allow users to browse to the resources they have access to...
The other items (devices in Azure AD, Intune) are not controlled by Azure RBAC roles. You should find that the users have the same permissions even if you remove their Azure RBAC role assignments.
These systems have independent authorization logic which may be granting some access to all users.

We have added the Contributor role to my azure subscription. And all the user in my directory having the Contributor role. So all the user are able to access the databases/sql servers created in my subscription.
So the problem here is, we have production sql databases exist in same subscription. We wanted to restrict the access for the specific databases. How can we do restrict access to the sql server/database?(Consider all the users are having contributor role and contributor role is assigned to subscription)
Thanks
I do not believe this is possible, unless the resources were created using Azure Blueprints, in which case, you can use a Deny Assignment to restrict access.
You will either need to assign the RBAC roles directly to the resource groups or the individual resources, rather than at the subscription level. Or, if possible, you should consider moving your production resources to another subscription.
I cannot set Azure Active Directory Admin in Azure SQL Database for myself.

To set the as the Azure Active Directory Admin in the Azure SQL Server : You have to have the Owner role or the Contributor:
As, Azure AD is nothing but an identity store in Azure. Here we can
define users, groups, applications, and service principles. These
users can authenticate onto Azure and they can access resources that
are part of Azure subscription.
We can assign Azure AD roles to a user and these permissions are
normally given to manage the various aspects of Azure AD.
Role-based access control (RBAC), on the other hand, is used to authorise a user to use Azure resources.
For example, you might grant a user the ability to create a storage
account or manage resource groups by assigning them a role.
At the management group, subscription, resource group, or resource level, role-based access control can be implemented.
RBAC has three basic roles that apply to all resource types:
Owner: This role has full access to all the resources and can delegate
access to others.
Contributor: This role can create and manage all types of resources,
but can’t grant access to other users and groups.
Reader: This role can view existing Azure resources.
Here, is the way I am able to add, as the assigned role to me is Contributor Role.
Once you have the Owner or Contributor Role you will be able to add the Azure Active Directory Admin for the SQL server:
I am trying to set up octopus to deploy resources to azure.
Under azure active directory I've added a new app registration, and have generated a key and hooked up octopus with the correct Application ID, Tenant ID and key
The organisation has multiple azure subscriptions corresponding to the environments, so I've noticed if I use the Subscription ID of my "Visual Studio Professional MSDN" subscription it works and creates the resources, however if I try to use any of the other organisation Subscription IDs I get the following error:
Login-AzureRmAccount : The provided account c0b2.......76a6 does not
have access to subscription ID "f06.......2aa3". Please try logging in
with different credentials or a different subscription ID.
I have looked through all the settings of the Application Registration and granted it every "Windows Azure Active Directory" permission available, but still no luck.
How do I go about granting permissions to this Application Registration so that it can access the relevant subscriptions?
You need to give the app a role on the subscription/resource group/resource you want it to be able to access.
So for example, you can go to the Access Control (IAM) tab of the subscription, and give the app the Contributor role, which allows the app to read and modify anything in the subscription.
You can also give a more limited role if desired.
Roles can also be applied at a lower scope, like a resource group.

What is the difference between IAM and Azure AD on the azure cloud?
They don't make it clear.
Identity Access Management is what they call the Role-Based Access Control system in Azure subscriptions. Basically, it allows you to give users certain roles on subscriptions, resource groups, or individual resources.
Azure AD is a more general identity management solution. It allows you to manage users and applications, users' access to those applications and more. Calling it the "same as on-prem AD" is not really quite right, since their features differ quite a lot. The general purpose is similar to on-prem AD of course.
Logically Azure subscriptions exist within one Azure AD (they are linked to one). But having your user account in Azure AD does not give you access to Azure subscriptions! In addition to a user having to be a member (or invited guest user) of the AAD assigned to the subscription, you also have to use the RBAC (IAM) system to assign roles for users.
Azure AD is for Authentiction - User must prove who they are using a Username and Password
IAM (RBAC) is for Authorization - a User is assigned a role or permissions to use a specific resource.
What is the difference between IAM and Azure AD on the azure cloud?
Azure IAM is Azure Role-Based Access control (RBAC). Work for Azure subscription, to manage Azure resources.
Using RBAC, you can segregate duties within your team and grant only
the amount of access to users that they need to perform their jobs.
Instead of giving everybody unrestricted permissions in your Azure
subscription or resources, you can allow only certain actions. For
example, use RBAC to let one employee manage virtual machines in a
subscription, while another can manage SQL databases within the same
subscription.
Azure AD same as on-prem AD, create users to access or manage some applications.
Azure IAM same as Active directory group(have some permissions), Azure AD users in this group will have those permissions.
Identify and access management (IAM) is called RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). This is used to grant level of access such as reader , contributor , owner to Azure resources and hence perform role assignment.
Azure AD is identity management solution for Azure. It is a live directory or a database that stores the user accounts and their password.
When I select an IAM menu (Identity + Acces Management) I see a list of user accounts extracted from my Azure AD
But I have several AD.From what criteria Azure select an AD rather another one?
Hi assuming your question is that you have multiple Azure Active Directories, rather than multiple on-prem ADs that you need to sync - then via the preview management blades in the new portal can you change which Direcotry they list via the icon on the top right which shows your logged in user. From there simply select the Directory you wish to manage.
It is only able to grant the access to the users in the Azure Active Directory which the Azure subscription trust. It is not able to switch the Azure Active Directory to grant the access.
Each Azure subscription is associated with one Azure Active Directory (AD) directory. Users, groups, and applications from that directory can manage resources in the Azure subscription. Assign these access rights using the Azure portal, Azure command-line tools, and Azure Management APIs.
Grant access by assigning the appropriate RBAC role to users, groups, and applications at a certain scope. The scope of a role assignment can be a subscription, a resource group, or a single resource. A role assigned at a parent scope also grants access to the children contained within it. For example, a user with access to a resource group can manage all the resources it contains, like websites, virtual machines, and subnets.
The RBAC role that you assign dictates what resources the user, group, or application can manage within that scope.
