Azure Java SDK - how to retrieve RBAC roles of an User

Question

We have a requirement to check the Authorization permissions of an User before executing business logic. I am not able to find an example or tutorial to retrieve the Roles of an User, using Azure Java SDK.

Answer 1

We have Rest API by which we can retrieve all roles assigned to a subscription. Using HTTP request we can retrieve all the role assignments and then we can search for user

Code:

String api = "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/providers/Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments?api-version=2015-07-01" ;  
// Here substitute the SubstriptionID  
System._out_.println( "Hello World!" );  
HttpClient client = HttpClient._newHttpClient_();  
HttpRequest request = HttpRequest._newBuilder_()  
.GET()  
.uri(URI._create_(api))  
.build();  
HttpResponse<String> response = client.send(request , HttpResponse.BodyHandlers._ofString_());  
System._out_.print(response.body());

// The following the has to parsed to find whether the user is present or not
