Security roles overview

Applies to: ✅ Microsoft Fabric ✅ Azure Data Explorer

Principals are granted access to resources through a role-based access control model, where their assigned security roles determine their resource access.

When a principal attempts an operation, the system performs an authorization check to make sure the principal is associated with at least one security role that grants permissions to perform the operation. Failing an authorization check aborts the operation.

The management commands listed in this article can be used to manage principals and their security roles on databases, tables, external tables, materialized views, and functions.

Note

The security roles of AllDatabasesAdmin, AllDatabasesViewer can't be configured with security role management commands. They are inherited respectively by the Admin and Viewer roles in the workspace.

Management commands

The following table describes the commands used for managing security roles.

Command	Description
.show	Lists principals with the given role.
.add	Adds one or more principals to the role.
.drop	Removes one or more principals from the role.
.set	Sets the role to the specific list of principals, removing all previous ones.

Security roles

The following table describes the level of access granted for each role and shows a check if the role can be assigned within the given object type.

Role	Permissions	Databases	Tables	External tables	Materialized views	Functions
admins	View, modify, and remove the object and subobjects.	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️
users	View the object and create new subobjects.	✔️
viewers	View the object where RestrictedViewAccess isn't turned on.	✔️
unrestrictedviewers	View the object even where RestrictedViewAccess is turned on. The principal must also have admins, viewers or users permissions.	✔️
ingestors	Ingest data to the object without access to query.	✔️	✔️
monitors	View metadata such as schemas, operations, and permissions.	✔️

For a full description of the security roles at each scope, see Kusto role-based access control.

Note

It isn't possible to assign the viewer role for only some tables in the database. For different approaches on how to grant a principal view access to a subset of tables, see manage table view access.

Common scenarios

Show your principal roles

To see your own roles on the eventhouse, run the following command:

.show cluster principal roles

Show your roles on a resource

To check the roles assigned to you on a specific resource, run the following command within the relevant database or the database that contains the resource:

// For a database:
.show database DatabaseName principal roles

// For a table:
.show table TableName principal roles

// For an external table:
.show external table ExternalTableName principal roles

// For a function:
.show function FunctionName principal roles

// For a materialized view:
.show materialized-view MaterializedViewName principal roles

Show the roles of all principals on a resource

To see the roles assigned to all principals for a particular resource, run the following command within the relevant database or the database that contains the resource:

// For a database:
.show database DatabaseName principals

// For a table:
.show table TableName principals

// For an external table:
.show external table ExternalTableName principals

// For a function:
.show function FunctionName principals

// For a materialized view:
.show materialized-view MaterializedViewName principals

Tip

Use the where operator to filter the results by a specific principal or role.

Modify the role assignments

For details on how to modify your role assignments at the database and table levels, see Manage database security roles and Manage table security roles.
