azure-role-selector

azure-role-selector is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vinayaklatthe/microsoft-security-skills. It costs 156 tokens per session (1,943 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for choosing Azure access roles. Azure RBAC controls who can perform which actions on cloud resources and at what scope.

In plain words
What is it for?
Choose built-in or custom roles, set the narrowest suitable scope, and decide whether access should go to a group, service, or managed identity.
Why use it?
It helps avoid granting more access than someone or a service needs. It also distinguishes management actions, such as changing a storage account, from data actions, such as reading blobs.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

azure-role-selector scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Azure Role Selector (RBAC Least Privilege)

Azure RBAC grants access through role assignments = security principal + role definition + scope. The goal is least privilege: the minimum role at the narrowest scope that meets the need, assigned to the right kind of principal (group for humans, managed identity for workloads), and time-bound via PIM where it is privileged.

When to use

Choosing the correct role for a user, group, service principal, or managed identity - or reviewing existing assignments for excess privilege.

Do not use this skill for:

  • Entra ID directory roles (Global Admin, User Admin, etc.) (use entra-id)
  • Microsoft 365 admin roles (use m365-govern-manage)
  • Activating privileged roles or designing access reviews (use azure-pim)
  • Multicloud entitlement management (use entra-permissions-management)

Pick the right role family

Caller needs to... Look at Avoid
Read storage account properties Control-plane: Reader / Storage Account Contributor Owner
Read blob contents Data-plane: Storage Blob Data Reader Reader alone (no data access)
Write blob contents Data-plane: Storage Blob Data Contributor Owner / Contributor
Read Key Vault secrets (RBAC mode) Data-plane: Key Vault Secrets User Key Vault Administrator
Manage Key Vault itself Control-plane: Key Vault Contributor Owner
Run an Azure Function with managed identity Data role on target resource only Subscription Contributor
Delegate role assignment to others User Access Administrator at narrow scope Owner
Read everything in a subscription Reader at subscription Owner / Contributor
Manage one resource group only Contributor at the resource group Subscription Contributor

Rule of thumb: Control-plane roles do not automatically grant data-plane access. Reader lets you see a storage account exists; it does not let you read a blob. Pick the right plane explicitly. This is the single most common RBAC mistake.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
