SUBSCRIPTION I AM (RBAC)

Question

Hello! I'm having a problem with Azure that I can't find a way to remove a Backup Contributor role in Azure.

Case:

I have an Azure subscription and recently assigned the Backup Contributor (RBAC) role to another Azure subscription. Now I want to remove it, but the function simply appears only in the destination subscription and no longer in the source subscription. It is important to note that I recently used Azure Lighthouse to access both subscriptions in a single Azure Portal, but it does not appear in Azure Lighthouse Clients or Delegations.
I don't know what else to do, I just can't remove the backup contributor role from the target subscription.

Any help, I appreciate it.

Best Regards,

Gabriel Moraes.

Hello Gabriel Moraes,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you are having difficulties to remove Backup Contributor (RBAC) role to another Azure subscription.

To solve the issue: If the Azure Portal does not resolve the issue, you can use Azure CLI or PowerShell to remove the role assignment.

• Using Azure CLI

You can use Azure Cloud Shell or your local Azure CLI.

#List Role Assignments
az role assignment list --scope /subscriptions/<target-subscription-id> --role "Backup Contributor"
#Remove Role Assignment
az role assignment delete --role-assignment-id <roleAssignmentId>

• Using PowerShell

You can use either Azure Cloud Shell or local PowerShell

#List Role Assignments
Get-AzRoleAssignment -Scope "/subscriptions/<target-subscription-id>" -RoleDefinitionName "Backup Contributor"
#Remove Role Assignment
Remove-AzRoleAssignment -RoleDefinitionName "Backup Contributor" -ObjectId <ObjectId> -Scope "/subscriptions/<target-subscription-id>"

I hope this is helpful! Do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions.
