Before you assign it

  • It reaches the data, not just the resource. It has 4 data actions, such as reading blobs, secrets or messages.

What it can do

No control-plane actions.

Data actions

PermissionWhat it allows
Microsoft.ContainerRegistry/registries/repositories/metadata/readGets the metadata of a specific repository for a container registry
Microsoft.ContainerRegistry/registries/repositories/content/readPull or Get images from a container registry.
Microsoft.ContainerRegistry/registries/repositories/metadata/writeUpdates the metadata of a repository for a container registry
Microsoft.ContainerRegistry/registries/repositories/content/writePush or Write images to a container registry.

Assign it

Scope it as tightly as you can: a resource or resource group rather than the whole subscription.
