You can use [Azure role-based access control (RBAC)](../articles/role-based-access-control/overview.md) to assign specific permissions for a managed disk to one or more users. Managed disks expose a variety of operations, including read, write (create/update), delete, and retrieving a [shared access signature (SAS) URI](../articles/storage/common/storage-dotnet-shared-access-signature-part-1.md) for the disk. You can grant access to only the operations a person needs to perform their job. For example, if you don't want a person to copy a managed disk to a storage account, you can choose not to grant access to the export action for that managed disk. Similarly, if you don't want a person to use an SAS URI to copy a managed disk, you can choose not to grant that permission to the managed disk.

## Encryption
42+
43+
Managed disks offer two different kinds of encryption. The first is Storage Service Encryption (SSE), which is performed by the storage service. The second one is Azure Disk Encryption, which you can enable on the OS and data disks for your VMs.

### Storage Service Encryption (SSE)
46+
47+
[Azure Storage Service Encryption](../articles/storage/common/storage-service-encryption.md) provides encryption-at-rest and safeguards your data to meet your organizational security and compliance commitments. SSE is enabled by default for all managed disks, snapshots, and images in all the regions where managed disks are available. Visit the [Managed Disks FAQ page](../articles/virtual-machines/windows/faq-for-disks.md#managed-disks-and-storage-service-encryption) for more details.

### Azure Disk Encryption (ADE)
50+
51+
Azure Disk Encryption allows you to encrypt the OS and Data disks used by an IaaS Virtual Machine. This encryption includes managed disks. For Windows, the drives are encrypted using industry-standard BitLocker encryption technology. For Linux, the disks are encrypted using the DM-Crypt technology. The encryption process is integrated with Azure Key Vault to allow you to control and manage the disk encryption keys. For more information, see [Azure Disk Encryption for IaaS VMs](../articles/security/azure-security-disk-encryption-overview.md).

## Disk roles

There are three main disk roles in Azure: the data disk, the OS disk, and the temporary disk. These roles map to disks that are attached to your virtual machine.
