Manage Azure Web Jobs Monitoring
Manage monitoring thresholds and perform administrative remote actions on Web Jobs for configured subscriptions.
Delegate the power to control all or individual Azure Web Jobs to selected team members and the business. This feature helps the people involved in the support and maintenance team have the power to manage problems with your Web Jobs without having individual direct access to the Microsoft Azure Portal. Limiting the number of attack vectors, and having fewer people with high access rights minimizes the risk of disruption of mission-critical services.
| Application Management Team | IT Operations | Business |
|---|---|---|
| Let your AM team have the power to stop and start services without involving the IT operations team | Stay in complete control with access to everything | Give your business Data and self-service for solutions built using Web Jobs |
