This is the README for the Azure Policy Validator extension. This extension provides a set of commands to interact with Azure Policy, including validation and login.
Azure Policy Validator extension provides the following features:
-
Validate: This command allows you to validate a Azure polcy file (single JSON). It can be accessed from the command palette or the context menu in the editor when a JSON file is open. The policy must be of the policyType "Custom". As Azure CLI is being used, the Azure CLI must be installed and accessible via
azcommand. To be able to successfully write a policy the user needs to haveSecurity Writerrole or similar permissions. The command will write a policy definition with a random name prefixed withazure-policy-validator-and if successful, will delete the definition straight away. -
Login: This command allows you to login to your Azure account with
az login. If you have elevated your rights to Security Writer via PIM, you will need to login again to update the tokens. It can be accessed from the command palette or the context menu in the editor when a JSON file is open.
This extension requires the Azure CLI to be installed on your machine. You can download it from here.
This extension contributes the following settings:
azurePolicyValidator.subscription: Set this to your Azure Subscription ID to use for validation.
