Azure ManagementGroupsApi client library for JavaScript

This package contains an isomorphic SDK (runs both in Node.js and in browsers) for Azure ManagementGroupsApi client.

The Azure Management Groups API enables consolidation of multiple subscriptions/resources into an organizational hierarchy and centrally manage access control, policies, alerting and reporting for those resources.

Getting started

Currently supported environments

• LTS versions of Node.js
• Latest versions of Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox.

See our support policy for more details.

Prerequisites

• An Azure subscription.

Install the @azure/arm-managementgroups package

Install the Azure ManagementGroupsApi client library for JavaScript with npm:

npm install @azure/arm-managementgroups

Create and authenticate a ManagementGroupsAPI

To create a client object to access the Azure ManagementGroupsApi API, you will need the endpoint of your Azure ManagementGroupsApi resource and a credential. The Azure ManagementGroupsApi client can use Azure Active Directory credentials to authenticate. You can find the endpoint for your Azure ManagementGroupsApi resource in the Azure Portal.

You can authenticate with Azure Active Directory using a credential from the @azure/identity library or an existing AAD Token.

To use the DefaultAzureCredential provider shown below, or other credential providers provided with the Azure SDK, please install the @azure/identity package:

npm install @azure/identity

You will also need to register a new AAD application and grant access to Azure ManagementGroupsApi by assigning the suitable role to your service principal (note: roles such as "Owner" will not grant the necessary permissions). Set the values of the client ID, tenant ID, and client secret of the AAD application as environment variables: AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET.

For more information about how to create an Azure AD Application check out this guide.

Using Node.js and Node-like environments, you can use the DefaultAzureCredential class to authenticate the client.

import { ManagementGroupsAPI } from "@azure/arm-managementgroups";
import { DefaultAzureCredential } from "@azure/identity";

const client = new ManagementGroupsAPI(new DefaultAzureCredential(), subscriptionId);

For browser environments, use the InteractiveBrowserCredential from the @azure/identity package to authenticate.

import { InteractiveBrowserCredential } from "@azure/identity";
import { ManagementGroupsAPI } from "@azure/arm-managementgroups";

const credential = new InteractiveBrowserCredential({
  tenantId: "<YOUR_TENANT_ID>",
  clientId: "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>",
});
const client = new ManagementGroupsAPI(credential, subscriptionId);

JavaScript Bundle

To use this client library in the browser, first you need to use a bundler. For details on how to do this, please refer to our bundling documentation.

Key concepts

ManagementGroupsAPI

ManagementGroupsAPI is the primary interface for developers using the Azure ManagementGroupsApi client library. Explore the methods on this client object to understand the different features of the Azure ManagementGroupsApi service that you can access.

Troubleshooting

Logging

Enabling logging may help uncover useful information about failures. In order to see a log of HTTP requests and responses, set the AZURE_LOG_LEVEL environment variable to info. Alternatively, logging can be enabled at runtime by calling setLogLevel in the @azure/logger:

import { setLogLevel } from "@azure/logger";

setLogLevel("info");

For more detailed instructions on how to enable logs, you can look at the @azure/logger package docs.
