ARM evaluates access (RBAC) and governance (Policy) from the top down. Anything you assign at a higher scope\u2014tenant root, management group\u2014flows down to child management groups, subscriptions, resource groups, and resources unless explicitly overridden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key building blocks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hierarchy<\/strong> \u2014 A tree of management groups with a single tenant root. Keep it shallow and intentional.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>RBAC<\/strong> \u2014 Roles assigned at a management group apply to all child scopes. Use it for platform guardrails, not day-to-day app ownership.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Azure Policy<\/strong> \u2014 The policy engine evaluates resources against rules (deny\/audit\/append\/modify\/deployIfNotExists). Assign policy or initiatives at a management group to make standards the default.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inheritance<\/strong> \u2014 Lower scopes inherit from higher ones. Exemptions can carve out controlled exceptions without weakening your baseline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Automation<\/strong> \u2014 ARM\/Bicep, Azure CLI, and Git-based workflows let you define governance as code and promote changes safely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-design-a-clear-and-scalable-hierarchy\">Design a clear and scalable hierarchy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your hierarchy should mirror how you govern, not how teams are organized today. A proven pattern looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Root<\/strong> \u2014 The tenant root management group. Keep it minimal and tightly controlled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Platform<\/strong> \u2014 Shared services like networking, identity, logging, security tooling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Landing Zones<\/strong> \u2014 Where apps live. Segment by environment and risk: <em>Prod<\/em>, <em>NonProd<\/em>, <em>Sandbox<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Special Purpose<\/strong> \u2014 Optional groups for <em>Research<\/em>, <em>Partner<\/em>, or <em>Quarantine\/Decommissioned<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Why this works: platform teams own the <em>Platform<\/em> branch with stricter controls; app teams operate within <em>Landing Zones<\/em> with guardrails but more freedom. This keeps security and cost hygiene centralized without handcuffing delivery teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-naming-and-tagging-conventions\">Naming and tagging conventions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use consistent names like <code>mg-plat<\/code>, <code>mg-lz-prod<\/code>, <code>mg-lz-nonprod<\/code>, <code>mg-sandbox<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tag at subscription\/resource levels (e.g., <code>Environment<\/code>, <code>CostCenter<\/code>, <code>DataSensitivity<\/code>).
