A custom role? Not sure if that's necessary...

Wait, why would you give them the Contributor role for the subscription? Seems too broad.

I think a custom RBAC role for RG2 makes sense too.

I’m a bit confused about whether we should use the Virtual Machine Contributor role for RG1 or RG2. I need to double-check that.

I practiced a similar question where we had to assign roles based on least privilege. I think a custom RBAC role might be necessary here.

I feel like the Network Contributor role for RG2 could be part of the solution, but I'm not sure about the second role we need.

I remember that the Contributor role gives broad permissions, but I think we need to limit access to RG2 specifically.

I feel confident I can solve this. The question is clear about the tasks the ServerAdmins need to perform, and the principle of least privilege, so I think the answer is the Network Contributor role for RG2 and a custom RBAC role for RG2.

I've got a strategy in mind. Since the requirement is to create VMs in the existing virtual network in RG2, the Network Contributor role for RG2 should be one of the answers. Now I just need to figure out the other role.

I'm a bit confused about the difference between the Contributor role and the custom RBAC roles. I'll need to research the specific permissions of each to make the best choice.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The key is to use the principle of least privilege, so we need to identify the minimum permissions required for the ServerAdmins to perform the specified tasks.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the resource information and the required tasks to determine the appropriate RBAC roles.

Yes, giving ServerAdmins only the Network Contributor role for RG2 and a custom RBAC role for RG2 ensures they have the least privilege to create VMs in that resource group.
