For example, the [Virtual Machine Contributor](built-in-roles.md#virtual-machine-contributor) role allows the user to create and manage virtual machines. For a list of all the built-in roles, see [Azure built-in roles](built-in-roles.md).

It's a best practice to grant users the least privilege to get their work done. You should avoid assigning a privileged administrator role when a job function role can be assigned instead. If you must assign a privileged administrator role, use a narrow scope, such as resource group or resource, instead of a broader scope, such as management group or subscription.
