Pipeline: 3.3.6 Enable Role Based Access Control for Azure Key Vault
Description
The recommended way to access Key Vaults is to use the Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) permissions model.
Azure RBAC is an authorization system built on Azure Resource Manager that provides fine-grained access management of Azure resources. It allows users to manage Key, Secret, and Certificate permissions. It provides one place to manage all permissions across all key vaults.
The new RBAC permissions model for Key Vaults enables a much finer grained access control for key vault secrets, keys, certificates, etc., than the vault access policy. This in turn will permit the use of privileged identity management over these roles, thus securing the key vaults with JIT Access management.
Remediation
From Azure Portal
Key Vaults can be configured to use Azure role-based access control
on creation.
For existing Key Vaults:
- From Azure Home open the Portal Menu in the top left corner.
- Select
Key Vaults
. - Select a Key Vault to audit.
- Select
Access configuration
. - Set the Permission model radio button to
Azure role-based access control
, taking note of the warning message. - Click
Save
. - Select
Access Control (IAM)
. - Select the
Role Assignments
tab. - Reapply permissions as needed to groups or users.
From Azure CLI
To enable RBAC Authorization for each Key Vault, run the following Azure CLI command:
az keyvault update --resource-group <resource_group> --name <vault_name> --enable-rbac-authorization true
From PowerShell
To enable RBAC authorization on each Key Vault, run the following PowerShell command:
Update-AzKeyVault -ResourceGroupName <resource_group> -VaultName <vault_name> -EnableRbacAuthorization $True
Default Value
The default value for Access control in Key Vaults is Vault Policy.
