azure-role-selector

Guidance for selecting the right Azure RBAC role with least privilege - mapping required actions to built-in roles, deciding when a custom role is needed, scoping assignments correctly, and choosing between control-plane and data-plane roles. Covers scope levels (management group → resource), groups vs direct assignment, and PIM for privileged roles. WHEN: which Azure role, least privilege role, Azure RBAC role selection, built-in vs custom role, scope role assignment, role for managed identity, data plane role, assign minimal permissions, RBAC design, control plane vs data plane, Storage Blob Data Reader vs Reader. DO NOT USE for Entra ID directory roles (use entra-id) or for Microsoft 365 admin roles (use m365-govern-manage).
