Management API

pip install azure-mgmt-authorization

Create the management client

The following code creates an instance of the management client.

You will need to provide your subscription_id which can be retrieved from your subscription list.

See Resource Management Authentication for details on handling Azure Active Directory authentication with the Python SDK, and creating a Credentials instance.

from azure.mgmt.authorization import AuthorizationManagementClient
from azure.common.credentials import UserPassCredentials

# Replace this with your subscription id
subscription_id = '33333333-3333-3333-3333-333333333333'

# See above for details on creating different types of AAD credentials
credentials = UserPassCredentials(
    'user@domain.com',	# Your user
    'my_password' 		# Your password
)

authorization_client = AuthorizationManagementClient(
    credentials,
    subscription_id
)

Check permissions for a resource group

The following code checks permissions in a given resource group. To create or manage resource groups, see Resource Management.

from azure.mgmt.redis.models import Sku, RedisCreateOrUpdateParameters

group_name = 'myresourcegroup'
permissions = self.authorization_client.permissions.list_for_resource_group(
    group_name
)
# permissions is a iterable of Permissions instances
