Create Custom Roles for Azure AD Administration
Design and create custom Azure AD roles that grant specific permissions based on organizational needs.
Azure AD provides built-in roles like Global Administrator, User Administrator, and Password Administrator, but organizations often need custom roles with specific permission combinations. Custom roles allow you to grant only the permissions necessary for a specific job function, following the principle of least privilege. You can create roles for specialized tasks like managing specific applications, conducting access reviews, or administering particular user groups. Custom roles reduce security risk by preventing unnecessary broad permissions and improve organizational efficiency by enabling self-service administration of delegated tasks.
