Assigning owner permissions

The owner of a subscription has full access to all the resources inside the subscription and is able to delegate the access to others. To assign owner permissions to a user on the subscription level using RBAC, perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to the Azure portal by opening https://portal.azure.com.
2. In the left-hand menu, select All services and select Subscriptions (you can also add it to your favorites so that's displayed in the left-hand menu):

1. Select your subscription, and in the Subscription overview blade, click Access control (IAM):

1. To add a user with administrator permissions, click Add | Add role assignment to open the Add role assignment pane. 
2. In the Role drop-down list, select the Owner role. 

1. Then, in the Select list, select the user. If you don't see the user in the list, you can search for it in the textbox by name and email address:

1. Click on Save to add the user to the owner role.
   

In this demonstration, we added administrator permissions to a user. In the next section, we're going to configure Azure subscription policies.
