The answer is no, because the Resource Group Owner will not have permission to register for Azure Resource Provider which will need Subscription Level access. Contributor can create any resource that is already registered in Azure Resource Provider however not the ones that are not. So this is the tricky part of this question. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/resource-providers-and-types

I too agree with Spidy. The requirements say that App2Dev be able to create all resources needed without defining what those requirements are. So you must assume any and all resource types. You cannot do with this without having contributor role at the subscription level in order to register a new Azure Resource Provider. Thanks Spidy for writing that up. It was helpful

Exactly!! Resource/RG like NetworkWatcher need subscription level access. App2Dev with contributor role to just that RG will not be able to create this resource.

Q: How did the resource owner register Application1? A: They must already have have Subscription Level access. So the answer is still yes.

I agree it should be Yes. There is no mention about different AD tenant, so, we can't consider this as an eliminatory point. The explicity requirenments are: The members of App2Dev must be prevented from changing the role assignments in Azure. - Contributor role doesn't aloow this The members of App2Dev must be able to create new Azure resources required by Application2. - Contributor role aloows this All the required role assignments for Application2 will be performed by the members of Project1admins. - Owner can do this Contributor - Can create and manage all types of Azure resources but can't grant access to others. Owner - Has full access to all resources including the right to delegate access to others. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/overview

If I read this carefully, the ask is App2Dev group should be able to create any resource required for the app- which could include RG as well and if you are limiting this to RG, it would defy the objective

agree with you. depends how important is each person point of view for the following two items, answer can be either yes or no 1. With provided solution, App2Dev are restricted to use only one (Application2)RG for their app. so if they need more RG, the answer can be No. otherwise, the answer can be Yes 2. May not be as critical as the first point, but now 2.a: "Project1admins" is not the only group in Project1 Subscription 2.b: Project1 Subscription now contains more resources than just application1 if subscription is used as a way to isolate app1 and app2, then the answer can be no, otherwise, answer is yes

They do not share resources, so a contributor would not be able to create these resources in a single subscribtion The answer is correct. If it was implied that they use the same resources then they could be created in the same subscription and app 2users would then be given contributor access. But thats not the case so the answer is correct.
