Using Service Principal Identity to List AD Roles

In this hands-on lab, you are tasked with gathering the role definitions and role assignments for your organization. You do not have access to the portal, so you must collect this information via SSH connection, by using a Linux VM and a service principal. Once access to the Azure subscription has been gained, use the Azure CLI to collect the required information, and output to a file so you can email it to your manager.
