I need that on all objects that are created in a "resource group", an "AD group" has contributor permissions
I dont want to give contributor access to the Resource Group.
Is this possible? How can I do it?
If I am reading this right. What you need to happen when you create a resource within a resource group is that a preset Contributor group is added to that resource automatically correct? If this is the case then, you can achieve this by adding the preset Contributor group to your Subscription. Then any resource group that derives from that Subscription will inherit the preset Contributor group.

there is use-case I am looking for solution. Assume I am assigning RBAC - Owner role to user(xxx) at subscription level. But now I need to exclude this permission to one of the resource group under this Subscription. Is that feasible?
No. Azure RBAC permissions cannot be removed like that.
Owner at subscription level means Owner on all resource groups and resources under it.
You need to assign the roles at resource group level if you want to restrict them there.
The other option is to separate the resources to a different subscription.
I have an access package, a subscription and a resource group.
I was going via this. However, didn't get clear idea.
How to add data factory contributor for that resource group? Should I just go to the subscription -> then resource group -> IAM and then add? How can I make sure, it is in correct access package? I think data factory contributor is a built-in role in Azure.
Data Factory Contributor is a built-in role in Azure
You can assign Data factory contributor role at a resource group level to the user, group or service principal
Go to your Resource Group --> Click on Access Control (IAM) --> Click on Add Role Assignment --> Select Data factory contributor role --> Go to members tab --> Click on Select Members and add your user, group or service principal to whom the access is required --> Click on Review and Assign
In this way, you can assign Data Factory Contributor role at a resource group level to the users, groups or service principal
I have a Subscription in my company that is shared for all members of the team (all employees).
We use this subscription for test, dev and also production workloads.
We have only one subscription because it is a sponsored subscription thanks to our MS partnership, so we don't want to create other subscriptions.
I want to restrict the access to a particular resource group that will host production resources where sensible data will be managed.
Because all members of the teams are contributor in the subscription level, they have access to all resource group and I can't remove them from the resource group.
So how can I proceed if I want to revoke their access to the resource group and allow them to use all other resource groups?

AFAIK, Only way to do so is remove the users role (Contributor) at the subscription level and assign them at each resource group (other than production resource group). If a user has a higher role (say Contributor) at subscription level, then you can't assign a lower role (say Reader) at resource group level.
Essentially with Azure RBAC, when you grant access at a parent scope, those permissions are inherited to the child scopes.
You can read more about Azure RBAC here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/overview#how-rbac-works.
I am assigned an owner role in my Employer's Azure subscription. He was able to create resource groups, but I can't. We're both wondering why since I was already assigned as Owner, the highest role aside from subscription level.
When I try the az group create --name myGroup -l southeastasia command, its response is
The client 'live.com#<myAccount>#outlook.com' with object id '<object ID>'
does not have authorization to perform action 'Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/
resourcegroups/write' over scope '/subscriptions/<subscription>/resourcegroups/<myGroup>'.
Edit: I have no subscription level resources
Do you have multiple subscriptions in your tenant? If yes, you should set it.
##list subscription
az account list --output table
##change the active subscription
az account set --subscription "My Demos"
If you only have a subscription, I suggest you could create a sp, then use the sp to create a new resource group. See this link.
Update:
You should give Owner role on subscription level, according to your screenshot, you give Owner role on resource group role, you only create resources in the resource group. You also could not create new resource group. You should give Owner role to your subscription,like below:
Note: This issue is more likely to happen in newer subscriptions and usually happens if a certain resource type has never been created before in that subscription.
Subscription admins often fix this issue by granting resource group owners contributor rights on the subscription level which contradicts with their strategy of isolating access down to the level of resource group level not the subscription level.
For root cause and quick resolution, refer "Common problem when using Azure resource groups & RBAC".
Well, the error clearly says you dont have rights over the scope, so you are either owner of the wrong sub or you have a role that specifically restricts that.
I have assigned with Owner role to a resource group. I am unable to create a new resource group.
For creating a resource group whether I need owner/contributor role to subscription?
And When a user is assigned with Owner and Reader role, which role controls the user access?
OP asks for RBAC permissions necesssary to create a new resource group. #jason-ye suggests subscription Owner role. This is more permissions than necessary hence not a good answer for production or related environments.
Per Built-in roles for Azure resources, Contributor role on subscription is sufficient to create all resources, including resource groups. Following are the permissions assignments for Contributor role, "*" means everything, some things are explicitly denied:
Actions
*
NotActions
Microsoft.Authorization/*/Delete
Microsoft.Authorization/*/Write
Microsoft.Authorization/elevateAccess/Action
Microsoft.Blueprint/blueprintAssignments/write
Microsoft.Blueprint/blueprintAssignments/delete
I would like a means to grant "Create New Resource Group" without granting "*" to existing resources.
Update: Based on Azure built-in [RBAC] roles, there is no other built-in role that provides the necessary permission to create (or write) resource groups.
However, now that Azure supports custom RBAC roles, you can create a custom role with the Microsoft.Resources resource provider operation
Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourceGroups/write
which would provide the least privileges to achieve the desired result.
Here is how you do that.
create a file newrole.json and add below text.
Create role with below command
New-AzRoleDefinition -InputFile newrole.json
{
"Name": "XXX ReadOnly",
"Id": "acdd72a7-3385-48ef-bd42-f606fba81ae7",
"IsCustom": false,
"Description": "Lets you view everything, Create Resource Groups but not make any changes.",
"Actions": [
"*/read",
"Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourceGroups/write"
],
"NotActions": [
],
"DataActions": [
],
"NotDataActions": [
],
"AssignableScopes": [
"/subscriptions/id"
]
}
Azure provides four levels of scope (ordered from high to low): management groups, subscriptions, resource groups, and resources.
You apply management settings at any of these levels of scope. The level you select determines how widely the setting is applied. Lower levels inherit settings from higher levels. For example, when you apply a policy to the subscription, the policy is applied to all resource groups and resources in your subscription. When you apply a policy on the resource group, that policy is applied to the resource group and all its resources. However, another resource group doesn't have that policy assignment. For more info, check here
Create a new Role and assign at subscription level with below permissions.
Everything is read at subscription level, but you can create the resourcegroups
"*/read", "Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourceGroups/write"
Assign owner permission to the user at the resourcegroups they want to manage.
I have assigned with Owner role to a resource group. I unable to
create new resource group.
It is a by design behavior because the owner permission works for that resource group, not for the subscription.
If you want to grant create resource group permission to that account, we can set it here:
Grant the owner permission of this subscription to that account, in this way that account will have permission to create new resource group.
Note: If we grant owner permission of this subscription to that account, that account will get all permission of all resource group.
