When you create a role assignment, you need to specify the scope at which it's applied. The scope represents the resource, or set of resources, that the principal is allowed to access. You can scope a role assignment to a single resource, a resource group, a subscription, or a management group.
Use the smallest scope that you need to meet your requirements.
For example, if you need to grant a managed identity access to a single storage account, it's good security practice to create the role assignment at the scope of the storage account, not at the resource group or subscription scope.
For more information about scope, see Understand scope .
A role assignment is associated with a role definition. The role definition specifies the permissions that the principal should have within the role assignment's scope.
You can assign a built-in role definition or a custom role definition. When you create a role assignment, some tooling requires that you use the role definition ID while other tooling allows you to provide the name of the role.
For more information about role definitions, see Understand role definitions .
Principals include users, security groups, managed identities, workload identities, and service principals. Principals are created and managed in your Microsoft Entra tenant. You can assign a role to any principal. Use the Microsoft Entra ID object ID to identify the principal that you want to assign the role to.
When you create a role assignment by using Azure PowerShell, the Azure CLI, Bicep, or another infrastructure as code (IaC) technology, you specify the principal type . Principal types include User , Group , and ServicePrincipal . It's important to specify the correct principal type. Otherwise, you might get intermittent deployment errors, especially when you work with service principals and managed identities.
A role assignment's resource name must be a globally unique identifier (GUID).
Role assignment resource names must be unique within the Microsoft Entra tenant, even if the scope of the role assignment is narrower.
When you create a role assignment by using the Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, or the Azure CLI, the creation process gives the role assignment a unique name for you automatically.
If you create a role assignment by using Bicep or another infrastructure as code (IaC) technology, you need to carefully plan how you name your role assignments. For more information, see Create Azure RBAC resources by using Bicep .
When you delete a user, group, service principal, or managed identity from Microsoft Entra ID, it's a good practice to delete any role assignments. They aren't deleted automatically. Any role assignments that refer to a deleted principal ID become invalid.
If you try to reuse a role assignment's name for another role assignment, the deployment will fail. This issue is more likely to occur when you use Bicep or an Azure Resource Manager template (ARM template) to deploy your role assignments, because you have to explicitly set the role assignment name when you use these tools. To work around this behavior, you should either remove the old role assignment before you recreate it, or ensure that you use a unique name when you deploy a new role assignment.
You can add a text description to a role assignment. While descriptions are optional, it's a good practice to add them to your role assignments. Provide a short justification for why the principal needs the assigned role. When somebody audits the role assignments, descriptions can help to understand why they've been created and whether they're still applicable.
Some roles support role assignment conditions based on attributes in the context of specific actions. A role assignment condition is an additional check that you can optionally add to your role assignment to provide more fine-grained access control.
For example, you can add a condition that requires an object to have a specific tag for the user to read the object.
You typically build conditions using a visual condition editor, but here's what an example condition looks like in code:
The preceding condition allows users to read blobs with a blob index tag key of Project and a value of Cascade .
For more information about conditions, see What is Azure attribute-based access control (Azure ABAC)?
Azure role assignment integration with Privileged Identity Management is currently in PREVIEW. See the Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews for legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability.
If you have a Microsoft Entra ID P2 or Microsoft Entra ID Governance license, Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) is integrated into role assignment steps. For example, you can assign roles to users for a limited period of time. You can also make users eligible for role assignments so that they must activate to use the role, such as request approval. Eligible role assignments provide just-in-time access to a role for a limited period of time. You can't create eligible role assignments for applications, service principals, or managed identities because they can't perform the activation steps. You can create eligible role assignments at management group, subscription, and resource group scope, but not at resource scope. This capability is being deployed in stages, so it might not be available yet in your tenant or your interface might look different.
The assignment type options available to you might vary depending or your PIM policy. For example, PIM policy defines whether permanent assignments can be created, maximum duration for time-bound assignments, roles activations requirements (approval, multifactor authentication, or Conditional Access authentication context), and other settings. For more information, see Configure Azure resource role settings in Privileged Identity Management .
If you don't want to use the PIM functionality, select the Active assignment type and Permanent assignment duration options. These settings create a role assignment where the principal always has permissions in the role.
To better understand PIM, you should review the following terms.
Term or concept | Role assignment category | Description |
---|---|---|
eligible | Type | A role assignment that requires a user to perform one or more actions to use the role. If a user has been made eligible for a role, that means they can activate the role when they need to perform privileged tasks. There's no difference in the access given to someone with a permanent versus an eligible role assignment. The only difference is that some people don't need that access all the time. |
active | Type | A role assignment that doesn't require a user to perform any action to use the role. Users assigned as active have the privileges assigned to the role. |
activate | The process of performing one or more actions to use a role that a user is eligible for. Actions might include performing a multifactor authentication (MFA) check, providing a business justification, or requesting approval from designated approvers. | |
permanent eligible | Duration | A role assignment where a user is always eligible to activate the role. |
permanent active | Duration | A role assignment where a user can always use the role without performing any actions. |
time-bound eligible | Duration | A role assignment where a user is eligible to activate the role only within start and end dates. |
time-bound active | Duration | A role assignment where a user can use the role only within start and end dates. |
just-in-time (JIT) access | A model in which users receive temporary permissions to perform privileged tasks, which prevents malicious or unauthorized users from gaining access after the permissions have expired. Access is granted only when users need it. | |
principle of least privilege access | A recommended security practice in which every user is provided with only the minimum privileges needed to accomplish the tasks they're authorized to perform. This practice minimizes the number of Global Administrators and instead uses specific administrator roles for certain scenarios. |

Yesterday, I was texted during a funeral. Pick up an extra story. No address, no other information but, 'We need this, it's in the city on the way home.' No follow up call. One message. One vibration. I was deep in a funeral. They knew I was in a funeral. I missed it. We were behind as it was, three counties away, and they fired one text to change our whole night. My reporter and I are in the proverbial tunnel, flying down the highway, he's logging in camera, we're talking about the story. I get the call when I get into the parking lot at eight. Is anyone out there finding that the younger generation on the assignment desk expects you to be texting like a fifteen year old girl? It's getting incredulous. I've had assignments in the past 'top walled' to facebook before my shift. Facebook? Is that the new defacto business conversation device? What if I didn't check freaking facebook in the last hour? Do I need a twitter account now just to find out where my desk is sending me? I have three twentysomethings on the desk that never call, they fire a text, and that's it. I can be in spot news, standing next to a fire truck, or hustling cops, and I get one text. Better not miss it! Sometimes I get all of the way back to the station and say, "How did it go?" "How did what go? Oh, the concert was interesting." "No. The fire on Cass Ave." "Jesus! There was a fire on Cass Ave?" " I texted you! I texted you there was a fire on Cass Ave!" "I was at Brooks and Dunn, shooting their final concert! You knew that. I can't hear!" "(Walled up body language) Well, I expect you to go to assignments." "What kind of answer is that?!? So, you think I'm refusing assignments, or ignoring them? Do you check your phone every three minutes? Do you?" Actually, I found out, yes they freakin' do. They do it so much it gets in the way of their jobs. "Texting is NOT going away, ALEX," scolded my producer (to me like a child, I might add) when I said this is a ridiculous trend to send assignments without any information in an indirect fashion, in a funeral. I've been banging my head against a wall, because the younger generation doesn't call you, give you any information (text is too short for info), and can often text you just once an hour before your shift about something that starts at the literal top of your shift when you're in the shower, is forty five minutes away from the station (meaning you have to leave NOW) and then complain that you missed it. This whole 'shower text' trick has bit me at least ten times in the last two years. Who the hell texts an emergency change of plans before their shift? I can be mowing the lawn. I can be doing a million other things than waiting by the phone to listen for one single chime. All I get back is static. "I don't have to call you all the time. I sent you a message. You need to check your messages." Too me, this smells like a terminal case of lazy/stupid. Not only are most freaking texts useless, they say, in their nature, "This is casual conversation. I don't necessarily expect you to get back to me on this." Is anyone else out there suffering like I am? Does every other assignment desk do this nowadays? I've seen this blossom up from nowhere. In short, does anybody actually get DIRECT CONTACT with a field crew before they change their entire night anymore? All I ask these days is a few things... think about safety by letting me know if the spot news I'm heading to is dangerous, let me know before a funeral so I can dress appropriately, and direct contact when you've got something that is due today. It's making the top of my list... f%&$ing call me. That's all I ask any more. (LoL: This is officially the beginning of my 'OLD MAN' phase of life now, I have kids, I'm busy... I can tell this is happening. Some tech has showed up, and I'm refusing to adopt it into my life. The other day I told someone that I didn't need a Blu-Ray player, either, even if it did play Netflix. This is bad news, people. NOW GET OFFA MY LAWN, YOU KIDS!)
I have a couple of clients that use text a lot. I prefer e-mail me. I've told them that if they don't receive a response from me then they I didn't get it. I always respond with an OK to let them know I got it. Sounds like you need to do the came thing. Us old fogies just don't seem to be inclined to leashed to our cells like the younger generation...
Honestly? I've always preferred a text assignment to a phone call, as long as it's specifically written. I find it easier than having to find a pen to write down what the producer is saying. It's more unobtrusive as well. If I'm in an interview, or, as in your example a funeral, I really don't want to get a phone call. As far as missing the texts, I know that my phone will buzz every few minutes until I check to see the text I received...do you have a function like that? The Facebook assignments, on the other hand, are way over the line.
Auto Response? Some phones and/or apps have customizable auto reply functions. Maybe you can set it up to respond to the desk numbers "This is an auto response, please follow up with a phone call if you receive no further response from me within fifteen minutes" I use auto reply when I am going somewhere that coverage is questionable, and may not get a text or E-mails until hours later. Chuck
First off, it should be stated that while in theory text assignments is a good idea...its not always practical or professional. I think as we grow older and the young ones begin to enter the work force the clash of social manners is a hurdle to always overcome...wether it be with language or technology. I think most if not all companies don't allow a person to "text in sick"...why? Because its not always reliable that the receiver got the message...so feel free to talk to the supervisor to set a policy about text assignments to photogs...or talk to them yourself and professionally help them understand how you would like a phone call instead of text. I am operating under the "nip it in bud" policy in my life...if I don't like how something is going or I don't like how I am being treated then I am going to let you know so we can find a solution that works for the both of us. I am not afraid to be upfront about my professional expectations. Help them by talking and guiding them about professional manners in the newsroom...that way 5 years from now no one will complain about them here because they got the advice of the wise photog that set them on the right path.
Yes, in theory text assignments can be good when they have the info. Simply because at times those doing the assigning still dont have the full info. But what they should do, is call about 5 minutes after sending the text. That way they can confirm you got the text. At my last shop the assignment editor was a old school guy, surrounded by the younger gen who thinks he doesnt do anything but spend to much time bull****ting on the phone. Tho, ask them to do something like answer the hotline when its ringing and they will say I AM BUSY, GET THAT. B.S, your copy and pasting from ap wires and then changing things around. Busy my ass. But yes, they like to text alot. And if they call they like to talk your ear off before getting to the point. Or tell you how to do your job like you havent been doing it longer then they have. Sorry for the rank and off topic-ness.
Lack of responsibility. It's NEVER my fault. I texted you. It's your fault you didn't read it. Oh you didn't get it? It's the phone carrier's fault.
I actually prefer texts followed up by an email with the specifics of the story. I don't know how many times I would be in the middle of an interview and my phone is buzzing. It just seems like bad timing that for the 7 1/2 hours a day when you weren't shooting that the phone wouldn't ring. Then when you are, the phone is going non-stop. I can check the text as I still am shooting and know what is happening next. I think text or email is something that every photog should get use to these and future forms of communication. I know there were a lot of photogs that were anti-computer editing years ago and now it's industry standard. I agree that social media is not a good form of immediate communication but text and/or email is fine and acceptable for me.
I'm surprised there's not a zero fail wherein if they don't get a reply from you they call 10-15 minutes later.
I have a boss that does not take calls when he gets home from work, but will conduct converstions by texting. I had a late story one night, and on the way home I needed to "discuss" some issues with the boss, which turned into a texting marathon. My thirty minute drive home took nearly an hour because I had to keep pulling to the side of the road while I read his text messages and I typed my replies. A voice conversation using handsfree would have been so much better !
Most carriers only send text when the network is not busy. If you read the contract they only promise to deliver the text in a 12 hour period. The network around my home area is due for upgrading so its not unusual for me to get a text 3 or 4 hours after it was sent.

I think a txt is fine for an unobtrusive alert, or to follow a phone conversation. The party trying to get the message to you is responsible for making sure you get it though. I have only gotten a few texts from work, so no stories of woe so far. I'm over the days of txt pagers and the "call the desk" messages. "LOW BATT" was funny for a day, too, but I digress... If I'm on a story, and got a txt "need a VO on your way back" I would see that as a non-emergency, and call when I could. During the phone call, I could ask the address be texted to me. The cell phone I use has the ability to cut&paste the address in the txt and use that for navigation. So, done correctly, txt would be helpful for us. Of course, there are instances BRB.

If the text has no information, like an address, it means nothing to me. If I don't respond to the text with at least an "ok" then assume I didn't get it and try CALLING ME. I'm not going to check my phone, twitter, facebook, email, etc every five minutes to get assignments WHEN I'M MOST LIKELY SHOOTING SOMETHING ELSE AT THE MOMENT. CALL ME or CALL SOMEONE ELSE!

I love it when I get a phone call from the desk and they are in a huge panic so much so that I cannot understand a word they say. Then they blurt out an address expecting me to remember it as I am driving down the road. There are times I feel the people at the desk are 911 dispatch dropouts that failed the tests.

Exactly 1911A1. I myself may look at a text or email, but i sure as hell wont respond to one while driving. But yeah, If was or wasnt on call, but was getting called in early. If it was a "RIGHT AWAY' type call i missed, i put down the time they called as my time in, missed the call or not. If they told me to come in early to get something, depending how far out i was, i put down the time to get their as time in.
My former station was fond of using this as a tool to control OT. Situation: Start day at 9AM, off at 6PM,1 hour for lunch. Reality: In at 9AM, NO lunch, 6PM live shot in town 45 miles away. If lucky, off at 7:30PM, if there are no "pick this up on your way back" VOs. Upon return I would ask desk "Should I come in late tomorrow to minimize the OT?" Desk would reply, "No, be here at 9AM." OK, fine. My drive to the station was about 10 minutes. The next morning, I would receive a text at 8:45 AM: "Please come in at 10:30AM so we can reduce OT." AARRGGHH! This was, in part, a reason why I quit from that station. For the record, that station was WFMY.
4Batz has teamed up with hip-hop star Lil Baby for his latest single and music video, “Roll Da Dice,” released today. The track delves into the risks and rewards of modern romance, blending 4Batz’s signature mix of 90s R&B and trap with Lil Baby’s seamless flow.
“Roll Da Dice” showcases a harmonious collaboration, with 4Batz crooning lines like, “You got a smile that makes you look amazing and that’s just why I gotta see you daily,” and “I roll the dice, that’s why you’re my favorite.” Lil Baby complements the sentiment with, “I ain’t gonna leave you, you ain’t ever left me, my name in diamonds sitting on your necklace,” expressing loyalty and commitment.
The music video, directed by Ralph Canono, is set in 4Batz’s hometown of Dallas, featuring scenes of dice-rolling at a local gas station and shots of striking women, symbolizing the gamble of love. The visuals capture the excitement and uncertainty that accompany the pursuit of a deep connection.
2024 has been a milestone year for 4Batz. He wrapped his first headlining tour, “Thank You, Jada,” and achieved his first Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit with “Act II: Date @ 8” featuring Drake. His collaborations with artists like Ye and Usher have cemented his status as a groundbreaking force in music, continuing to push the boundaries of sound and storytelling.

Here's a great example of visual detail b rolls by Philipp Dubbert. 5. Storytelling B Roll Footage. B roll footage can be used to tell a story that supports the narrative of your video. For example, in this video interview of RJ Mitte, the speaker talks about living with cerebral palsy.
There is a station in town where the assignment editor decides what goes on the air. Not the producers, the AE... And here I thought you had to fail an IQ test to be an AE... C. Capt. Slo-mo Well-known member. Feb 28, 2011 #2 Then the person is not really an "assignment editor" anymore.
B-roll is so integrated into our news reports, that we almost expect to see it. This video uses mostly B-roll and does so in a really engaging way, with some shots even appearing to move in time with the upbeat soundtrack. 5. Movies/TV . Lastly, B-roll is also widely used in film and television. This can be to establish tone.
The B-roll video can pan through the rush of morning traffic, the tranquility of a park, or the city's vibrant nightlife—each giving added context and visual interest. 3. Maintain technical quality. While B-roll introduces flavor to your video content, it should still be high-quality. Achieve stable shots, sharp focus, and proper exposure.

1- Plan ahead. The key to shooting great B-roll starts with understanding your story and identifying the key themes or ideas you'd like to reinforce through your footage. Having a clear vision of what you want to communicate will guide you in deciding what kind of B-roll shots you need.
B roll helps adding a mood to a location—like showing rainy weather can imply a gloomy or sad day. B roll helps cover any gaps or errors in your A roll. It can help gloss over gaps or errors in your A roll—for example, during an interview, the subject fumbles over a few words—you could cut the mistake out and cover it with B roll.
A-roll vs. B-roll. A-roll is the main primary footage that portrays the overarching narrative of the film or video. B-roll, therefore, is the secondary footage that supplements the A-roll. Although the terms A-roll and B-roll imply a hierarchy of importance, this isn't the case. Let's clarify: B-roll footage is just as important as A-roll ...
B-roll is essential in narrative features to create a sense of time and place and add layers of meaning to the story. Establishing shots at the beginning of scenes that show city streets or the exteriors of buildings are usually B-roll, along with other shots that cut away from the main action. If two characters are on a street corner and one ...
B-roll can be gathered with a separate unit, acquired from stock footage, or obtained from any source other than your principal photography. The term for A-roll vs B-roll originated in the earliest days of Hollywood moviemaking, when principal footage was termed A-roll. An identical roll of film, the B-roll, or B-reel, was used for filler and ...
B Roll - Everything You Need to Know. B Roll (sometimes written as B-Roll or Broll) refers to secondary footage that visually supports the primary footage in a film or video project.
