You have an Azure subscription named Sub1 that contains the resources shown in the following table.

Name Description
Pool1 Azure Virtual Desktop host pool
Scaling1 Scaling plan

You have a user named Admin1 that is assigned the Desktop Virtualization Contributor role for Sub1.

You need to ensure that Admin1 can assign Scaling1 to Pool1.

Solution: You assign Admin1 the User Access Administrator role for Sub1.

Does this meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No

Answer

A. Yes

Explanation

The solution of assigning the User Access Administrator role to Admin1 for the Sub1 subscription does meet the goal of allowing Admin1 to assign the Scaling1 scaling plan to the Pool1 Azure Virtual Desktop host pool.

The Desktop Virtualization Contributor role grants Admin1 permissions to manage Azure Virtual Desktop host pools and other desktop virtualization resources within the Sub1 subscription. However, this role alone does not grant permissions to manage role assignments.

The User Access Administrator role includes permissions to manage user access to Azure resources using role assignments. By assigning this role to Admin1 at the subscription scope, it will allow Admin1 to assign any roles, including their own Desktop Virtualization Contributor role, to other users, groups, or service principals within the Sub1 subscription.

So with the combination of the Desktop Virtualization Contributor role (to manage the host pool and scaling plan) and the User Access Administrator role (to assign roles), Admin1 will have the necessary permissions to assign the Scaling1 scaling plan to the Pool1 host pool.

In summary, assigning the User Access Administrator role to Admin1, in addition to their existing Desktop Virtualization Contributor role, will provide the required permissions to meet the stated goal. The solution provided is correct.
