Preparing for Contributor (PaaS) exploit scenarios

To follow along with the exercises in this chapter, you will need to set up a user with Contributor permissions and some vulnerable workload configurations in your own Azure subscription. As in previous chapters, we have automated this using a PowerShell script that you can run from Azure Cloud Shell. Before proceeding, ensure that you have run the clean-up scripts to remove resources from previous chapters. This will help us avoid any script execution exceptions.

2. In the Azure portal, click on the Cloud Shell icon in the top-right corner. Select PowerShell:
