pip install azure-mgmt-authorization

Create the management client

The following code creates an instance of the management client.

See Resource Management Authentication for details on handling Azure Active Directory authentication with the Python SDK, and creating a Credentials instance.

from azure.mgmt.authorization import AuthorizationManagementClient
from azure.common.credentials import UserPassCredentials

# Replace this with your subscription id
subscription_id = '33333333-3333-3333-3333-333333333333'

# See above for details on creating different types of AAD credentials
credentials = UserPassCredentials(
    '[email protected]',	# Your user
    'my_password' 		# Your password
)

authorization_client = AuthorizationManagementClient(
    credentials,
    subscription_id
)

Check permissions for a resource group

The following code checks permissions in a given resource group. To create or manage resource groups, see Resource Management.

from azure.mgmt.redis.models import Sku, RedisCreateOrUpdateParameters

group_name = 'myresourcegroup'
permissions = self.authorization_client.permissions.list_for_resource_group(
    group_name
)
# permissions is a iterable of Permissions instances
