Viewing impacted resource from Azure security incidents

To support of the experience of viewing impacted resources, Service Health contains a feature that:

• Displays resources impacted by a security incident.
• Enables role-based access control (RBAC) for viewing security incident impacted resource information.

This article explains what and where you can view information about your impacted resources.

Role Based Access (RBAC) For Sensitive Security Incident Resource Impact

Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) helps you manage who has access to Azure resources, what they can do with those resources, and what areas they have access to.
Given the sensitive nature of security incidents, role-based access is used to limit the audience of their impacted resource information.

Users with the authorized roles shown here can view security impacted resource information and sensitive details such as description, summary, and updates:

Subscription level

• Subscription Owner
• Subscription Admin
• Custom Roles with
  Microsoft.ResourceHealth/events/fetchEventDetails/action
  Microsoft.ResourceHealth/events/listSecurityAdvisoryImpactedResources/action
  Microsoft.ResourceHealth/events/action permissions

Tenant level

• Security Admin
• Global Admin/Tenant Admin
• Custom Roles with
  Microsoft.ResourceHealth/events/fetchEventDetails/action
  Microsoft.ResourceHealth/events/listSecurityAdvisoryImpactedResources/action
  Microsoft.ResourceHealth/events/action permissions

Viewing Impacted Resources for Security Incidents on the Service Health Portal

In the Azure portal, the Impacted Resources tab under Service Health > Security Advisories displays resources impacted from a security incident. Along with resource information, Service Health provides the information shown here to users whose resources are impacted from a security incident:

The following examples show a security incident with impacted resources from the subscription and tenant scope.
