Azure audit iam resource locking admin role remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

Using Python

To remediate the “Resource Locking Administrator Role” misconfiguration in Azure using Python, you can follow the below steps:

Install the Azure SDK for Python using pip:

pip install azure-mgmt-resource

Authenticate with Azure using your credentials:

from azure.common.credentials import UserPassCredentials
from azure.mgmt.resource import ResourceManagementClient

# Replace the values with your credentials
subscription_id = 'your-subscription-id'
username = 'your-username'
password = 'your-password'
tenant_id = 'your-tenant-id'

credentials = UserPassCredentials(username, password, tenant_id)
resource_client = ResourceManagementClient(credentials, subscription_id)

Retrieve the Resource Locking Administrator Role:

role_name = 'Resource Locking Administrator'

roles = resource_client.role_definitions.list()
role_definition = next((r for r in roles if r.name == role_name), None)

If the role does not exist, create it:

if not role_definition:
    role_definition = resource_client.role_definitions.create_or_update(
        scope='/subscriptions/' + subscription_id,
        role_definition_name=role_name,
        role_definition={
            'Name': role_name,
            'IsCustom': False,
            'Description': 'Allows management of resource locks.',
            'Actions': [
                'Microsoft.Authorization/*/read',
                'Microsoft.Authorization/locks/*'
            ],
            'NotActions': [],
            'AssignableScopes': ['/subscriptions/' + subscription_id]
        }
    )

Assign the role to the appropriate user or group:

principal_id = 'your-principal-id' # replace with the principal ID of the user or group you want to assign the role to

assignment_name = 'Resource Locking Administrator Assignment'
assignment_scope = '/subscriptions/' + subscription_id

assignment = resource_client.role_assignments.create(
    scope=assignment_scope,
    role_assignment_name=assignment_name,
    role_assignment_parameters={
        'role_definition_id': role_definition.id,
        'principal_id': principal_id
    }
)

By following these steps, you can remediate the “Resource Locking Administrator Role” misconfiguration in Azure using Python.
