# Assign user roles with Azure Active Directory
2020

21-
In Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), if one of your users needs permission to manage Azure AD resources, you must assign them to a role that provides the permissions they need. For info on which roles manage Azure resources and which roles manage Azure AD resources, see [Classic subscription administrator roles, Azure roles, and Azure AD roles](../../role-based-access-control/rbac-and-directory-admin-roles.md).
21+
The ability to manage Azure resources is granted by assigning roles that provide the required permissions. Roles can be assigned to individual users or groups. To align with the [Zero Trust guiding principles](/azure/security/fundamentals/zero-trust), use Just-In-Time and Just-Enough-Access policies when assigning roles.
2222

23-
For more information about the available Azure AD roles, see [Assigning administrator roles in Azure Active Directory](../roles/permissions-reference.md). To add users, see [Add new users to Azure Active Directory](add-users-azure-active-directory.md).
23+
Before assigning roles to users, review the following Microsoft Learn articles:
24+
25+
- [Learn about Azure AD roles](../roles/concept-understand-roles.md)
26+
- [Learn about role based access control](../../role-based-access-control/rbac-and-directory-admin-roles.md)
27+
- [Explore the Azure built-in roles](../roles/permissions-reference.md)

## Assign roles
2630

27-
A common way to assign Azure AD roles to a user is on the **Assigned roles** page for a user. You can also configure the user eligibility to be elevated just-in-time into a role using Privileged Identity Management (PIM). For more information about how to use PIM, see [Privileged Identity Management](../privileged-identity-management/index.yml).
31+
There are two main steps to the role assignment process. First you'll select the role to assign. Then you'll adjust the role settings and duration.
32+
33+
### Select the role to assign
34+
35+
1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/) using the Privileged Role Administrator role for the directory.
36+
37+
1. Go to **Azure Active Directory** > **Users**.
38+
39+
1. Search for and select the user getting the role assignment.
40+
41+

42+
43+
1. Select **Assigned roles** from the side menu, then select **Add assignments**.

45+
![Screenshot of the user's overview page with Assigned roles option highlighted.](media/active-directory-users-assign-role-azure-portal/user-profile-assign-roles.png)
46+
47+
1. Select a role to assign from the dropdown list and select the **Next** button.
48+
49+
### Adjust the role settings
50+
51+
You can assign roles as either _eligible_ or _active_. Eligible roles are assigned to a user but must be elevated Just-In-Time by the user through Privileged Identity Management (PIM). For more information about how to use PIM, see [Privileged Identity Management](../privileged-identity-management/index.yml).

> [!Note]
30-
> If you have an Azure AD Premium P2 license plan and already use PIM, all role management tasks are performed in the [Privileged Identity Management experience](../roles/manage-roles-portal.md). This feature is currently limited to assigning only one role at a time. You can't currently select multiple roles and assign them to a user all at once.
