Azure Management Groups
Azure Management Groups provide a way to efficiently manage access, policies, and compliance across an enterprise through a hierarchy made up of management groups and subscriptions. Using the Azure portal, PowerShell, CLI, or the Rest API, customers are able to build a flexible structure for unified policy and access management.
Please take a few minutes to submit your idea or vote up an idea submitted by another Azure Management Group customer. All of the feedback you share in these forums are directly monitored and reviewed by the Azure Management Group engineering team.

Allow custom RBAC Definitions at the Management Group Level
The customer I currently work with has several custom roles that are currently maintained in a central subscription. This has become quite burdensome as every new subscription which needs the role assigned needed to have the Role.AssignableScopes attribute appended with the custom role. We would like to centrally manage these, using management groups similar to the way we manage Policy applied over several subscriptions.
163 votesHi Everyone,
I apologize about the delay but Custom RBAC Support is now available in Production. You are able to to create role definitions at the MG scope and assign them to inherited MGs and Subs.There is a bug that is in the portal where the new custom role is not showing when you are trying to do a role assignment on an inherited child MG/Sub. This should be resolved soon and PowerShell, CLI, and API are all working. I will not do any announcements yet on the availability of the feature until the portal bug is fixed. Once that is fixed we will do blog announcements and I will mark the feature complete here.

Splitting management group rights from subscription rights
I would like to give an AD group 'Owner' rights on subscriptions below a management group without giving them also the 'owner' rights on the management group itself, as they should only administer subscriptions and not management groups (which is done by another group of admins), which doesn't seem to be possible right now?
Is this something we can use the 'Deny assignments' for in the future? (as in assigning them the 'owner' role, and denying them the 'management group contributor' role for example?
8 votesCurrently this is not possible as there are no RBAC roles that focus only on subscriptions write capabilities. We created a Management Group Contributor role so that certain users can only have write on the MG scope, but not one focused on subscriptions. This is something we can look at doing.
We are working on Custom RBAC support for management group which will allow you to create your own role with subscription/write.

Allow for the default management group in the tenant be custom selected
When using Azure Management Groups, any new management group or subscription that is created is made a default child of the Root management group.
This feature would allow a admin with access to the root management group to select different default group. This group will then act as the landing area for all new management groups and subscriptions that are not created with a parent already selected.

Prevent Azure Move from circumventing destination policy restrictions
Currently, we can circumvent Azure Policy location restrictions by creating the resource in a subscription where the policy is not applied, and then moving the resource to the locked down subscription.
This creates a hole in our recommended governance and security policies, please address.

Set resource creation limits by user/group
In order to control costs, the Service Administrator should be able to setup quota/limits on resources created by users/groups, e.g. max 10 Vms.
3 votesThanks for the valid suggestion. Your feedback is now open for the user community to upvote & comment on. This allows us to effectively prioritize your request against our existing feature backlog and also gives us insight into the potential impact of implementing the suggested feature.

Restrict Account and Service Admin rights for cancelling a subscription
I believe that my request or idea is similar to the the topic "Splitting management group rights from subscription rights".
I understand that an user with the role of Account and/or Service Admin can cancel or transfer an Azure subscription. This action can cause a business continuity impact and I want to restrict this capability under the "Four Eyes Principle" or "Segregation of Duties". Is it possible? Currently I think that this feature is not available, thus making the entire designed RBAC model at the lower scopes potentially useless.
2 votesThanks for the feedback. Account / Service Admins are classic administration roles that are outside of the ARM RBAC Model. They have equivalent RBAC roles like “Owner”. Management Groups are ARM Resources which means they do not look or govern the classic roles.
While we have no plans to support governing classic roles, I will keep this item open as unplanned.

New-AzureRMSubscription missing argument to set management group scope
If I create a new Subscription using New-AzureRMSubscription it is always created at Root Scope, seems there is missing an arguement for management group scope.
Otherwise i need to additionally execute New-AzManagementGroupSubscription... and this command, as far as i can tell will require the user executing it too be both Contributor of the management group object and owner of the subscription object.
The 'New Subscription' owner and 'Target Management Group' owner are different identities in my scenario.

Enable ARMs Template Deployment at Management Group level with Azure DevOps
Currently, Azure DevOps only allows Subscription level Azure Resource Group (ARMs) Deployment. If you have a scenario in which your Template contains linked Templates to create resources into other subscriptions, Azure DevOps is not able to handle it. This is needed in scenarios such as Hub And Spoke Pattern with Multi-Subscriptions. interestingly, Service Connections can be defined at Management group level, but the Resource Template deployment is lacking this feature. This is a big miss in DevOps pipeline, or maybe I'm missing something.

AzManagementGroupSubscription needs Get/Delete verbs
Description of the new feature
Az.Resource currently implements a NEW verb for adding a sub to an MG. The corresponding GET/DELETE verbs have not been implemented.Get
The azManagementGroup stuff allow for retrieving a tree of your MG and subs. Finding where a Sub in the tree is currently has no native code. You have to retrieve the entire tree and recursively search for where the sub is assigned.Delete
Currently the only way to remove a Sub from an MG is to re-parent it to its new location or the "Tenant Root Group" MG. Since once MG's are turned…1 vote
