Discover how to manage Azure subscriptions by creating and inviting users, verifying domains, and assigning role-based access to subscriptions, resource groups, or resources via Active Directory.
Learn to create a custom role definition in Azure RBAC, granting start and restart actions for virtual machines and read access to storage, network, and compute resources.
Apply role-based access control in Azure by assigning owner, contributor, or reader roles to users, groups, or service principals. Define scope to subscription, resource group, or resource, with inherited permissions.
Define and enforce Azure subscription policies with built-in or custom definitions, assemble them into initiatives, assign to subscriptions or resource groups, and monitor compliance with exceptions.
Lock resources to prevent accidental deletions, using delete or read-only locks at the resource or resource group level. Tag resources for billing and request quota increases when limits are reached.
This course provides a focused and practical guide to managing Azure subscriptions, a core responsibility of a Microsoft Azure Administrator. It is designed to help learners understand how Azure subscriptions are structured, governed, and secured in real-world environments.
You will start with an introduction to Azure subscriptions, learning what subscriptions are, how they are used, and how they fit into Azure’s management hierarchy. The course then covers assigning subscriptions, helping you understand how access and ownership are managed across users and teams.
A major part of this course focuses on Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). You will learn how Azure RBAC works, understand built-in role definitions, and create custom role definitions to meet specific access requirements. These concepts are essential for managing permissions securely and effectively.
The course also covers Azure subscription policies, enabling you to enforce governance rules and ensure resources comply with organizational standards. You will learn how policies help control what resources can be created and how they are configured.
In addition, you will work with resource locks, limits, and tags, which are critical for protecting resources, managing costs, and organizing Azure environments. These features help prevent accidental deletions and provide better visibility across subscriptions.
Each topic is explained through concise video lessons, supported by practice tests to help you validate your understanding. By the end of this course, you will have the confidence to manage Azure subscriptions effectively and apply governance best practices as an Azure Administrator.
