To add a user to your Azure subscription, you'll need to have the right permissions in place.

You'll need Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write permissions, such as being a Role Based Access Control Administrator or a User Access Administrator.

This permission allows you to assign Azure roles, which is a crucial step in granting users access to your subscription.

Adding users and roles is a crucial step in managing your Azure subscription. You can add users to your subscription for various reasons, such as giving IT access to monitor for security, collaborating with developers, or providing access to a single resource group.

To determine whether you need to add a new user, consider the following scenarios: working on a project and needing to give IT access, working on new API protocols, needing to give access at the subscription level, or providing more visibility and transparency for projects while isolating certain parts of work.

You can add users and their roles within your subscription through Microsoft Entra ID, where access management is a critical function. Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) provides fine-grained access management of Azure resources.

To add a user, you must understand where you're adding them and what resources they need access to. The set of resources that a user can access is referred to as scope. For example, if you're collaborating with another developer, they might only need access at the resource or resource group level.

Alternatively, you can assign a Job Function role, which provides users with permission to perform particular job functions or tasks within the Azure environment.

The Contributor role grants the user full access to manage all Azure resources, including assigning roles to other users. To view the role assigned, go to the Access control (IAM) page under your subscription and click on "Role assignments."
