Authorization with Azure RBAC and ABAC

Securing cloud resources requires a precise approach to identity and access management. Without proper authorization strategies, organizations risk exposing sensitive data and critical infrastructure to unauthorized users. This text-based course guides you through implementing secure access controls using Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC). You will transition from understanding basic security concepts to confidently designing and applying fine-grained permission models. Through clear explanations and practical scenarios, you will learn how to protect storage accounts, database services, and cloud resources from unauthorized access. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of identity management, authentication, and authorization - Configure Azure RBAC using built-in roles and custom role definitions - Implement Azure ABAC to add dynamic, attribute-based conditions to your security policies - Secure cloud storage and data services with precise, least-privilege permissions - Apply modern zero-trust security architecture principles to your cloud environments - Audit and troubleshoot authorization assignments to ensure continuous compliance Starting with fundamental terminology, you will explore the hierarchy of cloud scopes, learn how to build custom security roles, and progress to writing conditional access policies. This structured approach ensures you build a solid theoretical foundation before tackling real-world administrative tasks. This course is designed for beginners, system administrators, and security enthusiasts who are new to cloud access management. No prior experience with cloud security is required.
