# Azure Roles

The `roles` option allows you to choose one or more Azure built-in roles to grant access to your Azure subscription. See [Azure built-in roles](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/built-in-roles) that you can apply.

You might start with the role `Virtual Machine Contributor` which gives the learner the ability to spin up and configure Azure virtual machines:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="🌐 Web UI" %}
Update your Azure subscription by entering the following in the **Assigned Roles** field:

```
Virtual Machine Contributor
```

And clicking **Add**.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="💻 Instruqt CLI" %}
Edit your `config.yml` file to include this content:

```
azure_subscriptions:
- name: azuresubscription
  roles:
  - Virtual Machine Contributor
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.instruqt.com/sandboxes/cloud-accounts/azure-subscriptions/azure-roles.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
