# Built-in Azure RBAC roles for Azure Virtual Desktop
1111

12-
Azure Virtual Desktop uses Azure role-based access control (RBAC) to control access to resources. There are many built-in roles for use with Azure Virtual Desktop that are a collection of permissions. You assign roles to users and admins and these roles give permission to carry out certain tasks. To learn more about Azure RBAC, see [What is Azure RBAC?](../role-based-access-control/overview.md).

The standard built-in roles for Azure are *Owner*, *Contributor*, and *Reader*. However, Azure Virtual Desktop has more roles that let you separate management roles for host pools, application groups, and workspaces. This separation lets you have more granular control over administrative tasks. These roles are named in compliance with Azure's standard roles and least-privilege methodology. Azure Virtual Desktop doesn't have a specific Owner role, but you can use the general Owner role for the service objects.

The built-in roles for Azure Virtual Desktop and the permissions for each one are detailed in this article. You can assign each role to the scope you need. Some Azure Desktop features have specific requirements for the assigned scope, which you can find in the documentation for the relevant feature. For more information, see [Understand Azure role definitions](../role-based-access-control/role-definitions.md) and [Understand scope for Azure RBAC](../role-based-access-control/scope-overview.md).
