Managing User Permissions on Azure Vaults

To work with the Azure, users/ group must have the minimum set of permissions that allow them to use the Azure resources such as keys and Azure vaults. Initially, the user only has permission to view the keys. However, if required, the CCKM administrator can grant and revoke permissions.

Note

Only the users who are member of the CCKM Users group will be granted permissions to perform operations on the Azure vault.

To add permission for user/group:

  1. In the Vault Access Control section, click Assign User/Group.

  2. On the Assign User/Group screen, select the user or group to be assigned permissions from the User/Group drop-down list.

  3. Click Save.

The newly added user/ group is displayed under Name in the Vault Access Control section.

CCKM allows the following operations on the Azure vaults:

  • View Keys, Add Key, Upload Key, Edit Key

  • Recover Key, Restore Key

  • Soft Delete Key, Delete Key Backup

  • Purge Key, Refresh Key

Note

Depending on the type of the Azure vault, a key is deleted differently.
• Vault with Soft-Delete Enabled: To delete the key permanently, perform the Soft Delete and the Purge operations on the key. However, for this operation to be successful, the user must have the Soft Delete Key and the Purge Key access.
• Vault with Soft-Delete Disabled: To delete the key permanently, use the Delete option. However, for this operation to be successful, the user must have the Soft Delete Key access.
