Find minimal Azure RBAC roles, generate assignment commands, and provide Bicep infrastructure code.
- ›Identifies built-in roles matching desired permissions using Azure documentation, or creates custom role definitions when no built-in role fits
- ›Generates Azure CLI commands and Bicep code snippets for assigning roles to identities, service principals, and managed identities
- ›Clarifies prerequisites for granting roles, including which permissions ( Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments
23:T4cb,<p>Use the 'azure__documentation' tool to find the minimal role definition that matches the desired permissions the user wants to assign to an identity. If no built-in role matches the desired permissions, use the 'azure__extension_cli_generate' tool to create a custom role definition with the desired permissions. Then use the 'azure__extension_cli_generate' tool to generate the CLI commands needed to assign that role to the identity. Finally, use the 'azure__bicepschema' and 'azure__get_azure_bestpractices' tools to provide a Bicep code snippet for adding the role assignment. If user is asking about role necessary to set access, refer to Prerequisites for Granting Roles down below:</p>
<h2>Prerequisites for Granting Roles</h2> <p>To assign RBAC roles to identities, you need a role that includes the <code>Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write</code> permission. The most common roles with this permission are:</p> <ul> <li><strong>User Access Administrator</strong> (least privilege - recommended for role assignment only)</li> <li><strong>Owner</strong> (full access including role assignment)</li> <li><strong>Custom Role</strong> with <code>Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write</code></li> </ul>1d:["$","div",null,{"className":"prose prose-invert max-w-none prose-headings:font-semibold prose-headings:tracking-tight prose-h1:text-4xl prose-h1:mb-2 prose-h2:text-2xl prose-h2:mb-2 prose-h3:text-lg prose-h3:mb-2 prose-p:text-muted-foreground prose-li:text-muted-foreground prose-code:bg-muted prose-code:text-foreground prose-code:px-1 prose-code:py-0.5 prose-code:rounded-sm prose-code:text-sm prose-code:before:content-none prose-code:after:content-none prose-pre:bg-muted prose-pre:text-foreground prose-pre:border prose-pre:border-border prose-pre:rounded-md [&_table]:!border-[color:var(--border)] [&_th]:!border-[color:var(--border)] [&_td]:!border-[color:var(--border)]","dangerouslySetInnerHTML":{"__html":"$23"}}] 18:[["$","meta","0",{"charSet":"utf-8"}],["$","meta","1",{"name":"viewport","content":"width=device-width, initial-scale=1"}]] 16:nullHow to use azure-rbac on Cursor
AI-first code editor with Composer
Prerequisites
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
- ›Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
- ›Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with
node --version) - ›Active project directory or workspace where you want to add azure-rbac
Execute installation command
Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
The skills CLI fetches azure-rbac from GitHub repository microsoft/azure-skills and configures it for Cursor.
Select Cursor when prompted
The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:
Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Reload or restart Cursor to activate azure-rbac. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /azure-rbac) or your agent's skill management interface.
Security & Verification Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.

Implementation Guide▌
Prerequisites
- ›Claude Desktop or compatible AI client with skill support
- ›Clear understanding of task or problem to solve
- ›Willingness to iterate and refine outputs
Time Estimate
15-45 minutes depending on use case complexity
Installation Steps
- 1.Install skill using provided installation command
- 2.Test with simple use case relevant to your work
- 3.Evaluate output quality and relevance
- 4.Iterate on prompts to improve results
- 5.Integrate into regular workflow if valuable
Common Pitfalls
- ⚠Expecting perfect results without iteration
- ⚠Not providing enough context in prompts
- ⚠Using skill for tasks outside its intended scope
- ⚠Accepting outputs without review and validation
Best Practices▌
✓ Do
- +Start with clear, specific prompts
- +Provide relevant context and constraints
- +Review and refine all outputs before using
- +Iterate to improve output quality
- +Document successful prompt patterns
✗ Don't
- −Don't use without understanding skill limitations
- −Don't skip validation of outputs
- −Don't share sensitive information in prompts
- −Don't expect skill to replace human judgment
💡 Pro Tips
- ★Be specific about desired format and style
- ★Ask for multiple options to choose from
- ★Request explanations to understand reasoning
- ★Combine AI efficiency with human expertise
When to Use This▌
✓ Use When
Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.
✗ Avoid When
Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.
Learning Path▌
- 1Familiarize yourself with skill capabilities and limitations
- 2Start with low-risk, non-critical tasks
- 3Progress to more complex and valuable use cases
- 4Build expertise through regular use and experimentation
