Azure Account Management Modes

There are two ways to manage your Azure account in CloudGuard.

• Read-Only - In this mode, you can view details for your Azure subscription in CloudGuard, run compliance tests on them, and receive alerts, notifications, and reports of activities and changes to cloud entities, but you cannot actively manage them from CloudGuard.

• Manage - In this mode, you have all the capabilities of Read-Only mode but, in addition, you can use CloudGuard to actively manage your Network Security Groups.
