While creating access package or group, How can I force uses to get access (for any resources) via PIM in Azure?
While creating the group there is a option called "Azure AD roles can
be assigned to the group". What is this all about? If I say "Yes", its
showing up the "Roles".
I'm bit confused about the additional settings. Is this the setting to do this?
I don't know about access packages or access groups. But for my PIM setup I have Azure AD groups where users are added. And once they get access to the group they become eligible for requesting roles through PIM.
I have then a role in PIM, I make it eligible, and assign it to the group.
Users can open PIM, go to My Roles, and then activate the role.
Activating the role gives them permissions for one hour to access resources in a resource group. (This is all depending on what settings you put on the role in PIM). Outside of PIM they have no permissions whatsoever, so if they need access to resources they must request it via PIM.
PIM
Azure Resource
Change the default filter on Resource Type from Subscription to Resource Group or Resource if you want to assign permissions on smaller scopes
Do the things.
I have a client that can only give me full access to one or two resource groups.
I need to deliver some prescripted terraform resources that contain the need for a service principal.
Can you lock an SP to a resource group? The subscription itself is a production subscription so they want to know if you can tie down using role base access just to that group.
Or should I be create a MI account?
Can you lock an SP to a resource group?
You most certainly can. Azure Role-based access control is very granular and you can apply access control at any level (management group, subscription, resource group or even at individual resource).
Please see this for more details: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/role-assignments-steps.
I would like to give members of a specific role the ability to create resource groups. Can this be achieved without giving users the co-owner role at the subscription level?
You can grant them contributor rights on the specific Azure subscription, they don't have to be co-owner. This is the least-privilege built-in role available that allows you to create resource groups.
However, you could also create a custom role with only one action:
Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourceGroups/write

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 was trying to invoke data factory pipeline from azure function programmatically. Its throwing following error.
link:
http://eatcodelive.com/2016/02/24/starting-an-azure-data-factory-pipeline-from-c-net/
AuthorizationFailed: The client 'XXXX-XXXXX-XXXX' with object id 'XXX829e05'XXXX-XXXXX' does not have authorization to perform action

'/subscriptions/XXXXXX-4bf5-84c6-3a352XXXXXX/resourcegroups/fffsrg/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/datafactories/ADFTestFFFS/datapipelines/ADFTutorialPipelineCustom'.
tried to search similar issues, but none of the search result gave me solution to my problem, Can you please guide us what could be the issue?
Objective is to, run data factory pipeline whenever file being added to blob. so to achieve the result we are trying to invoke data factory pipeline from azure function using blob trigger.
Step 1: login to your azure portal
Step 2: find Subscriptions in left side menu bar and click.
step 3: Click on Access Control IAM and then click on Add.
Step 4: In Add Permission window, select contributor for role. In select input box, type the app name you created in Azure AD (Created in Azure Active Directory)and select it. In my case I created Azure Resource Management.
Step 5:After you have given successful permission, click on Refresh in your subscription window and you will see your app showing in the list. See below example.

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.
Root cause
Some admins say, that some resources require access to the subscription level to be able to create these resources and that ‘owner’ rights on a resource group level is not sufficient. That is not true.
Let’s take a step back to understand how this all works first.
To provision any resources in azure (using the resource manager model) you need to have a resource provider that supports the creation of that resource. For example, if you will provision a virtual machine, you need to have a ‘Microsoft.Compute’ resource provider available in the subscription first before you can do that.
Resource providers are registered on the level of the subscription only.
Luckily, the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) is intelligent enough to figure that out for you. When a new Azure resource gets provisioned, if the resource provider required for that resource type is not registered in the subscription yet, ARM will attempt to register it for you. That action (resource provider registration) requires access to the subscription level.
By default, any new azure subscription will be pre-registered with a list of commonly used resource providers. The resource provider for IoTHub for instance, is not one of them.
When a user is granted owner rights only on a specific resource group, if that user tries to provision a resource that requires registering a resource provider for the first time, that operation will fail. That is what happened in our case above when trying to provision IoThub.
So the bottom line is, we DO NOT need to grant access permissions to the subscription level for users to be able to create resources like HDInsight, IotHub and SQLDW …etc within their resource groups that they have owner rights on, as long as the resource providers for these resources is already registered.
You get the error that you are not authorized to perform action 'Microsoft.DataFactory/datafactories/datapipelines/read' over scope of pipeline because you don't have the relevant permissions on the datafactory.
You either need to have "Contributor" /"DataFactoryContributor" permissions to create & manage data factory resources or child resources. More details of the azure RBAC roles in the following link:

Since the customer is trying to use the ADF client from inside Azure Function, the recommendation is to use AAD application and service principal for authentication of ADF client. You can find the instructions for creating AAD application and service principal here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/resource-group-authenticate-service-principal
Please follow the instructions on how to create the Active Directory application, service principal, and then assign it to the Data Factory Contributor role in the following link and the code sample for using service principal with ADF client.
We recently had this issue with the same message and found that it was caused by the user being logged in with a different subscription (we have 2). Using az login --subscription resolved the problem for us.
For anyone else running into a similar issue with the same error message - After "az login" I was recieving the same error when attempting to create a resource group as Owner, I solved this with:
az account set --subscription "Azure Subscription 1"
Basically it stems from the subscription not being set, you can find the details here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/manage-azure-subscriptions-azure-cli#get-the-active-subscription
Solution:
Step 1: Register an app in Azure Active directory.
Step 2: Assign 'Data Factory Contributor' role to the same app. we can achieve this by using power shell.
The below code works for me. Please try out in power shell after logged in with Azure credential.
Implementation:
Step 1: $azureAdApplication = New-AzureRmADApplication -DisplayName <AppName> -HomePage <URL> -IdentifierUris <URL with domain> -Password <Password>
Step 2: New-AzureRmRoleAssignment -RoleDefinitionName "Data Factory Contributor" -ServicePrincipalName $azureAdApplication.ApplicationId

In this post , Role is given as "Reader" which should be "Owner" instead otherwise it would give permission error on deployment.
I solved by following this post:
https://www.nwcadence.com/blog/resolving-authorizationfailed-2016
with the command in PowerShell:
Get-AzureRmResourceProvider -ListAvailable | Select-Object ProviderNamespace | Foreach-Object { Register-AzureRmResourceProvider -ProviderName $_.ProviderNamespace}
I solved by finding the Enterprise Application > Object ID.
(it is weird that it does not use App Reg > Application Id)
