Which built-in role is suitable for managing Event Grid resources?

1. Event Grid Contributor

2. Event Grid Subscription Contributor

3. Event Grid Data Sender

4. Event Grid Owner

The correct answer is: Event Grid Contributor

The choice of "Event Grid Contributor" for managing Event Grid resources is appropriate because this built-in role provides the necessary permissions to create and manage Event Grid topics and subscriptions, as well as to manage event grids themselves. This role facilitates handling configuration changes and overall administration of Event Grid resources without granting access to the full privileges of an owner, which would include permissions that may not be necessary for all users managing Event Grid. In contrast, the "Event Grid Subscription Contributor" role is limited to managing only the event subscriptions associated with topics, which is a subset of the overall management tasks. The "Event Grid Data Sender" role is specifically designed for sending events to the Event Grid and does not provide permissions for managing the infrastructure. Lastly, the "Event Grid Owner" role offers all permissions, including those for deleting and modifying other users' access, which is more than what is needed specifically for management tasks. Therefore, the "Event Grid Contributor" role strikes the right balance for those tasked with managing Event Grid resources efficiently.
