I agree. Azure Sentinel Contributor is correct to respond and manage incidents. A Logic App can be used to trigger a runbook. Therefore the role of Logic App Contributor is correct. Automation runbook operator CANNOT create runbooks. To Logic App Contributor is the logical answer.

In the question there is no two different users with different roles, it is for use user you need to assign two roles to be able to create and run playbooks (see the table) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sentinel/roles#roles-and-allowed-actions

but according to table https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sentinel/roles#roles-and-allowed-actions Azure Sentinel Responder is enough to manage incidents. Contributor would be too much in regards to least privilege. I agree with the Local App contributor

Not that someone who wrote this 2 years ago would ever come back to read this but I will say it anyway. I thought it DE but it is BE. The requirements from the question are: ✑ Create and run playbooks. ✑ Manage incidents. According to the link everyone keeps adding: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sentinel/roles#microsoft-sentinel-roles-and-allowed-actions "Logic App Contributor role to create and edit playbooks." So that takes care of requirement 1 Then we see further up on the page (I linked above) "Microsoft Sentinel Responder can, in addition to the above, manage incidents (assign, dismiss, etc.)." So that takes care of requirement 2 with fewer privileges than Sentinel Contributor. So, IMO, it doesn't really matter that "Microsoft Sentinel Contributor can, in addition to the above, create and edit workbooks, analytics rules, and other Microsoft Sentinel resources." Also, I want to point out workbooks are not playbooks, for those of you that may be confused on that.

In addition: Workbooks provide a flexible canvas for data analysis and the creation of rich visual reports within the Azure portal. They allow you to tap into multiple data sources from across Azure, and combine them into unified interactive experiences. Workbooks can be found under log analytics workspace resource or Azure Sentinel itself. It is like a custom dashboard which lets a user create graphs and other visuals using Kusto query language. Playbooks are related to Azure Sentinel. They are basically Logic Apps with a trigger that activates the Log App/Playbook when an Azure Sentinel query rule is matched.

Selected Answer: AC
To achieve the tasks of creating and running playbooks, as well as managing incidents in Azure Sentinel while following the principle of least privilege, you should assign the following built-in RBAC roles: A. Automation Operator C. Automation Runbook Operator The Automation Operator role provides the necessary permissions to create and run playbooks in Azure Sentinel. This role allows users to design and execute automation logic using playbooks without granting excessive privileges. The Automation Runbook Operator role specifically grants permissions to run automation runbooks. While playbooks in Azure Sentinel are implemented using Logic Apps, the Automation Runbook Operator role is designed for Azure Automation and can be used to execute runbooks associated with playbooks. Assigning only the Automation Operator and Automation Runbook Operator roles ensures that users have the necessary permissions to create and run playbooks while minimizing their access to other sensitive Azure Sentinel resources.

The other role options are not directly related to the specified tasks: B. Azure Sentinel responder: This role is focused on responding to incidents and investigating security alerts but does not provide the necessary permissions for creating and running playbooks. D. Azure Sentinel contributor: This role provides broader access to Azure Sentinel resources, including managing incidents and playbooks. However, assigning this role would exceed the principle of least privilege as it grants more permissions than required. E. Logic App contributor: This role provides permissions specifically for managing Logic Apps, but it does not include the necessary permissions for creating and running playbooks in Azure Sentinel. Therefore, the correct roles to assign are Automation Operator (option A) and Automation Runbook Operator (option C).

Microsoft Sentinel Reader can view data, incidents, workbooks, and other Microsoft Sentinel resources. Microsoft Sentinel Responder can, in addition to the above, manage incidents (assign, dismiss, etc.).

Badly worded… Microsoft Sentinel Contributor role lets you attach a playbook to an analytics rule. Microsoft Sentinel Responder role lets you run an already attached playbook. Logic App contributor is a given, but there’s not enough info in this question - you can’t make assumptions. However, LAC role can create as many playbooks as they want, unless they are MSC they can’t attach any… I’d go DE to be safe but BE does fall within the parameters of the question.
