How to assign admin-level permissions in Azure Purview without using Global Administrator

Hi roddevops, you’re right — Global Administrator access is only required initially to configure Azure Purview and assign the first set of permissions. After that, you can delegate control by assigning built-in Purview roles such as Data Curator, Data Reader, or Data Source Administrator directly from Purview → Management → Access control (IAM). This allows users to manage data access and resources within their assigned scopes without needing ongoing Global Admin rights, following Microsoft’s least-privilege and role-based access best practices.
