as usual for microsoft to make fun by confusing via terminology. dont know what makes them happy..there is nothing intelligent about it. just because Azure AD is now called Microsoft Entra, which means that Azure AD roles are not Azure RBAC roles but rather Entra roles. And entra roles are those roles which are predefined administrative kind of roles like global administrator, user administrator, etc.. refer the table in this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/id-governance/deploy-access-reviews#who-will-create-and-manage-access-reviews

Identity Governance Administrator role provides the necessary permissions to manage access reviews without granting excessive privileges.

Global Administrator: Can manage all aspects of Azure AD, including creating and managing access reviews for Azure AD roles. Privileged Role Administrator: Specifically responsible for managing role assignments in Azure AD and can create access reviews for privileged roles, including Azure AD roles like Global Administrator, Security Administrator, etc. User Access Administrator (when managing resources): If access reviews are tied to Azure resources, this role might be able to initiate reviews for roles assigned to those resources.

Identity Governance Administrator hast he least privileges.

To create access reviews while adhering to the principle of least privilege, you would typically need a role with the minimum permissions necessary to initiate and manage access reviews, such as a "User Access Administrator" role in most identity management systems, allowing you to review user access without granting broader administrative privileges.

The Identity Governance Administrator has the least number of roles required to create and manage Access Reviews for Azure AD roles.

User administrators cannot create access reviews for Azure AD roles. The User administrator role is primarily responsible for managing user accounts, groups, and password resets, but it does not have the necessary permissions to manage access reviews or governance tasks related to Azure AD roles. To create access reviews for Azure AD roles, roles like Identity Governance Administrator or Privileged Role Administrator are required. These roles have the necessary permissions for managing access reviews, especially related to Azure AD roles.

To allow User1 to create access reviews for Azure AD roles while adhering to the principle of least privilege, you should assign B. Identity Governance Administrator. The Identity Governance Administrator role enables a user to manage access reviews, terms of use, and privileged access settings in Azure AD. This role is specifically suited for handling access reviews while limiting permissions to only governance-related tasks, aligning with the principle of least privilege.
