Azure

This connector exports Azure resources, role definitions and assignments.

This page is about Azure .

Package: Cloud/Azure

Prerequisites​

Implementing this connector requires at least the Security Reader role, because Identity Manager does not access the Azure API on behalf of a user but with its own identity.

Export​

For a given Azure tenant with resources, this connector exports Azure resources, role definitions and role assignments to CSV files.

Configuration​

This process is configured through a Connection in the UI and/or the XML configuration, and in the appsettings.agent.json > Connections section:


    appsettings.agent.json

{ ... "Connections": { ... "<ConnectionIdentifier>": { ... } } }

The identifier of the connection and thus the name of the subsection must:

  • be unique.

  • not begin with a digit.

  • not contain <, >, :, ", /, \, |, ?, * and _.

The following example


    appsettings.agent.json
{
...
"Connections": {
...
"AzureExport": {
"ApplicationId": "contosoAzure897",
"ApplicationKey": "25d408a1925d4c081925b\\d40819",
"SubscriptionId": "Contoso",
"TenantId": "25d40819-f23f-4837-9d50-a9a52da50b8c",
"AzurePath": "https://management.azure.com/.default",
"AzurePathApi": "https://management.azure.com",
"ResponseUri": "https://agent.usercubecontoso.com"
}
}
}
