How does the Azure Role Selector ensure least privilege?

It analyzes requested permissions and queries Azure documentation to find the most restrictive built-in role that covers only the necessary actions without over-provisioning.

Can I use this skill to create managed identities?

No, this skill is specifically for role assignment and selection. You should use the azure-security skill for creating managed identities.

Does it support custom role creation?

Yes, if no built-in role matches your specific requirements, the skill uses Azure extension tools to generate a custom role definition.

What code formats are provided for role assignments?

The skill provides both Azure CLI commands for immediate execution and Bicep code snippets for version-controlled infrastructure deployment.
