Microsoft Azure Authorization Management Client Library for Python
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. This is the official Microsoft library for Azure authorization management, actively maintained, with no security vulnerabilities and permissive MIT licensing. Install it if you need to automate or query Azure access control from Python. The only prerequisite is Azure credentials and a subscription; the package itself installs cleanly with no complex dependencies.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

What it is and what it does
This is Microsoft's official Python client library for Azure Authorization Management. It provides programmatic access to Azure's role-based access control system, allowing you to create, read, update, and delete role assignments, manage role definitions, and configure access reviews and privileged identity management settings. The library wraps Azure's REST API and requires authentication via Azure Active Directory.
The package is designed for developers building automation, governance, or compliance tools on Azure. Version 4.0.0 added support for role assignment validation, condition-based permissions, and enhanced alert configuration. The library requires Python 3.7 or later and is actively maintained by Microsoft.
Use it for
- Automate role assignment provisioning and deprovisioning in large Azure tenants.
- Build compliance dashboards that audit who has access to which resources.
- Implement access review workflows and alert configurations programmatically.
- Manage deny assignments and conditional permissions across multiple subscriptions.
- Integrate Azure authorization into custom identity governance platforms.
