Can I use this for custom Azure roles?

Yes, if a built-in Azure role does not match your specific requirements, the skill will generate a custom role definition for you.

How does this skill improve Azure security?

It identifies the 'least privilege' role required for a task, ensuring that users and service identities have no more access than necessary, which reduces the attack surface.

What tools does the Azure Role Selector use?

It leverages Azure MCP tools for documentation lookup, Bicep schemas, CLI generation, and security best practice validation.

Does it support Infrastructure as Code (IaC)?

Absolutely. The skill provides Bicep code snippets that follow best practices, making it easy to include role assignments in your deployment templates.
