Configuring management access to Azure

Management access to Azure can be configured at the subscription level. To do this, perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to the Azure portal by opening https://portal.azure.com.
2. Select All services from the left menu and type subscriptions into the search box. Then, select Subscriptions.
3. Select the subscription that you want to grant management access to from the list.
4. In the subscription settings blade, select Access control (IAM) and click on Add | Add co-administrator, which can be found in the top menu:

5. In the Add co-administrator blade, search for and select a new user, as in the following example:

6. Click on Add.

Now that we have configured management access to Azure, we are going to look at how to create a custom role for our users.
