-> The Automation Contributor role can be used to access any resource using the managed identity, if appropriate permissions are set on the target resource, or using a Run As account. An Automation Run As account are by default, configured with Contributor rights on the subscription. Follow the principal of least privilege and carefully assign permissions only required to execute your runbook. For example, if the Automation account is only required to start or stop an Azure VM, then the permissions assigned to the Run As account or managed identity needs to be only for starting or stopping the VM. Similarly, if a runbook is reading from blob storage, then assign read only permissions.
