Set Access Control for the AAD user

V7.0.0

The Azure Active Directory (AAD) organization (Work or School) account that you use to login to the RCL SSL Portal must either be :

  • An ‘Administrator’ or ‘Owner’ to your Azure subscription
  • Have a role of ‘Owner’ or ‘Contributor’ to your Azure subscription

If either of these requirements are not met, you will not be able to use the RCL SSL Portal to manage your Azure resources (App Services, DNS, Key Vault, etc).

You may also experience an error message.

You must do this for each Azure subscription that you want to use in the RCL SSL Portal.

Test Access Control

Once access control is properly set up for the AAD account that you use to login to the RCL SSL Portal, you can open any page that requires subscription access to test it.

If the access control was correctly set, you will see the subscription in the drop down list.
