Hi All,

I have 300+ resource groups in Azure subscription and I want to assign 'Owner' role to 250 resource groups only. Individually I have to assign the 'owner' role on each resource group is time consuming task. Is there is any other way to do this?

This could be a simple task by PowerShell but depends a little bit on whether or not there is an underlying pattern. :-) Do you simply want to assign the owner role to all resource groups? Or do you have a flat list of those resource groups with the corresponding resource id’s? Or do the resource groups that need to be modified have anything else in common? Like, all resource groups share the same tag, are in the same subscription(s)? — holger, Jan 18 '23 at 21:10

I tried to reproduce same in my environment I got the results successfully like below.

To assign owner access to all the resource groups you can make use of below PowerShell comment like below:

Connect-AzAccount
$resourceGroups = Get-AzResourceGroup
$resourceGroups | ForEach-Object {
     New-AzRoleAssignment -ObjectId <USER OBJECTID> -RoleDefinitionName "Owner" -Scope $_.ResourceId
}

enter image description here

To get object ID of credentials or user Go to azure active directory -> user -> select user -> object ID like below:

According to your scenario as you have 300+ resource groups and you want to assign owner access to 250 resource groups try the below.

Go to resource group and export csv file and remove resource group which you don't want to assign access keep only resource group which you want to assign owner role in csv file like below:

enter image description here

When I use the PowerShell command I am able to assign owner access to list of multiple resource groups like below:

# Import CSV file with resource group names
$resourceGroups = Import-Csv -Path <PATH OF YOUR CSV FILE>
foreach ($resourceGroup in $resourceGroups) {
    # Assign the role to the user or group
    New-AzRoleAssignment -ObjectId ad4818XXXXXXXX -RoleDefinitionName "Owner" -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup.ResourceGroupName
}

Output:
