A company wants to protect important Azure resources from accidental modification or deletion by users. Which feature should they use to set such protection on these resources?
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Resource Locks
Azure Policies
Azure Blueprints
Resource locks provide a dedicated management feature that can be applied at the subscription, resource-group, or individual resource level with two modes: CanNotDelete (Delete) and ReadOnly. A lock overrides all RBAC permissions, ensuring that even users who normally have delete or write rights cannot perform those operations until the lock is removed.
Azure Policy can also block create, update, or delete operations through deny or denyAction effects, but it requires a specific policy definition and assignment intended for compliance scenarios rather than quick, ad-hoc protection. Azure RBAC controls who may act on a resource, yet an authorized user can still modify or delete it. Azure Blueprints can attach ReadOnly or DoNotDelete locks to the artifacts it deploys, but that capability is limited to resources managed by the blueprint assignment; for protecting any existing standalone resource, management locks are the simplest and most direct choice.
