What role in Azure RBAC has full access to resources?

The role in Azure RBAC that has full access to resources is the Owner role. This role allows the individual to manage all aspects of the Azure resources, including the ability to create and delete resources, configure settings, and manage permissions for others within the Azure environment. Essentially, the Owner has complete control over the resource, similar to having administrative rights.

In Azure RBAC, the Owner role extends beyond simply managing resources; it also includes the capability to delegate access to other users. This means the Owner can assign roles to other individuals, thereby controlling who has access to what resources.

While other roles, like Contributor, allow users to create and manage resources, they do not encompass the ability to manage permissions or access controls entirely. Similarly, the Reader role is limited strictly to viewing resources without making any modifications, and the User Access Administrator role is focused solely on managing access to resources rather than providing full access to the resources themselves. This distinction solidifies the Owner role as the most powerful and versatile within Azure RBAC.
