We are excited to announce that Azure Cognitive Search now offers support for role-based access control (RBAC) and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication for data plane operations, which are now generally available. These features allow Developers to secure their search indexes and queries with RBAC, thereby controlling access to data plane operations such as creating, loading, and querying indexes. This eliminates the need for key-based authentication, making the process more secure.
Importance of securing Cognitive Search indexes and queries with Azure RBAC
Use built-in roles or define custom roles
Using built-in roles or defining custom roles is possible for supporting common data plane operations scenarios. There are three built-in roles:
For more customized roles, Developers can define custom roles for administrators or applications.
Ready to get started?
Get started today by configuring role-based access control for data plane operations from the Azure portal. Select the “API access control” option “Both” for flexibility or if there is a requirement for application migration.
Follow up the additional instructions in the official documentation link to assign the respective roles, to have them tested and for more information.
