Q37 RBAC Domain 4 · 20–25% of exam Priority · Real Exam

A role is assigned Reader at the subscription and Contributor at the resource group. What are the effective permissions on a resource in that group?

  1. A Reader only
  2. B Contributor, because RBAC allow permissions are additive and inherited (correct answer)
  3. C Access denied
  4. D Owner

Shortcut: Azure RBAC allow assignments accumulate across inherited scopes. The union grants Contributor on resources within that group, while Reader still applies elsewhere in the subscription.
