To support the answer: To grant users PowerShell access to a virtual machine using Just-in-Time (JIT) VM access, the following permission is required: Microsoft.Security/locations/jitNetworkAccessPolicies/initiate/action This permission needs to be assigned to the user at the scope of the subscription or resource group associated with the VM. Additionally, the user will need the following read permissions: 1. Microsoft.Security/locations/jitNetworkAccessPolicies/*/read 2. Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/read 3. Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces/*/read These permissions allow the user to request JIT access to the VM and view the necessary information to establish a PowerShell connection[2]. Answer = read

Permission that must be granted to users on the VM: Answer: Update The Update permission is required because users need to make changes to the VM's network security group (NSG) rules for JIT to temporarily allow inbound access to specific ports. TCP Port that must be allowed: Answer: 5986 Port 5986 is the default TCP port for PowerShell remoting over HTTPS, which is required for secure PowerShell access. Explanation: Permissions on VM: Update permission is needed to configure and approve JIT access requests, as JIT modifies NSG rules to open ports temporarily. TCP Ports: Port 5986 is used for secure PowerShell remoting over HTTPS. Other ports like 22 (SSH), 25 (SMTP), and 3389 (RDP) are irrelevant for PowerShell remoting. Final Configuration: Permission: Update TCP Port: 5986

The port number. By default a PowerShell agent uses port 5985 for a regular connection and 5986 for a secure connection. If you are using a different port for PowerShell in your environment, enter the required port number.

Please note that the Write permission is necessary for users to make changes on the VM, and port 5986 is the default port for PowerShell remoting over HTTPS. The “Read” permission allows users to view the properties of a VM, but it doesn’t allow them to make changes. For Just-In-Time (JIT) VM access, users need to be able to request access, which involves making changes to the VM’s network security group rules. This requires the “Write” permission. Therefore, while “Read” permission is useful for viewing VM properties, it’s not sufficient for configuring JIT VM access. The “Write” permission is necessary for this task. Permission that must be granted to users on VM: Write TCP port that must be allowed: 5986

It also recommends protecting 22, 3389, 5985. Your response might be outdated.

Request JIT to a VM requires READ access on VM, not write as per docs that jpons pointed at. Port for WinRM over HTTPs is 5986 (5985 would be for plain unencrypted HTTP So: READ 5986

question is asking what permission is required for powershell access not for the JIT. So the answer should be write not read.

I think it's "read" just on the basis that it's about requesting JIT access. I believe the wording "access on the machine" is just badly written and should be "access to the machine"

Everyone keeps posting that Read is the permission to request JIT access. And that is true, but that isn't the question is it? Isn't the question asking what permission is needed to run powershell once the connection is made?

Look at that phrase, it's badly written. In English it would be "on the VM" not "on VM". So I think the just badly copied it and it actually should say "access to the VM". In which case it's "read".

You need to grant users PowerShell access to the virtual machine by using JIT VM access. this isnt using powershell to grant the access but being able to use powershell through winRM hence the port is correct and write is correct as they would need to be able to run commands etc once access has been established.
