Add Roles to Microsoft Azure User Account

Cohesity Cloud Protection Service accesses your Microsoft Azure domain with a user account to back up your Azure data. You can either add these roles to an existing user account or create a new user account with these roles.

• To create an app registration:

  You must have an Entra ID (tenant-level) role - Global Administrator or Privileged Role Administrator.

• To create and assign roles within a subscription:

  You must have a subscription-scoped role, such as an Owner or Custom Role, with minimum permissions defined.
