This tab shows who has access to the resource group. Notice that some roles are scoped to This resource, while others are (Inherited) from a parent scope.
List roles
As you learned in the previous unit, a role is a collection of permissions. Azure has more than 70 built-in roles that you can use in your role assignments. To list the roles:
In the menu bar at the top of the pane, select the Roles tab to list of all the built-in and custom roles.
Select a role's View link in the Details column, then select the Assignments tab to display the number of users and groups assigned to that role.
In this unit, you learned how to list the role assignments for yourself in the Azure portal. You also learned how to list the role assignments for a resource group.
