Built-In Azure Role Definitions

Last updated: September 9, 2026

In addition to adding your own Azure role definitions, you can easily load Azure's built-in role definitions into Kion.

Note: Some built-in role definitions contain permissions that no longer exist within Azure. When Kion encounters these, we will ignore them.

Importing the Built-In Role Definitions

Before you can import the built-in role definitions, you need to add at least one Azure billing source to Kion, so we can read the definitions from the Azure API.

To import built-in role definitions:

  1. In the sidebar, navigate to Settings >   System Settings.
  2. Click Built-in Role Definitions under Azure Settings.
  3. Click the Load Built-In Azure Role Definitions button.
  4. The loading process may take a few moments. When the import finishes, the full list of all built-in Azure role definitions shows under Cloud Management >   Azure Role Definitionsalongside any roles you added previously.
