# Authorization Management

For general information on resource management, see Resource Management.

## Create the management client

The following code creates an instance of the management client.

You will need to provide your `subscription_id` which can be retrieved from your subscription list.

See Resource Management Authentication for details on handling Azure Active Directory authentication with the Python SDK, and creating a `Credentials` instance.

    from azure.mgmt.authorization import AuthorizationManagementClient
        from azure.common.credentials import UserPassCredentials

    # Replace this with your subscription id
    subscription_id = '33333333-3333-3333-3333-333333333333'

    # See above for details on creating different types of AAD credentials
    credentials = UserPassCredentials(
                'user@domain.com',      # Your user
                'my_password',          # Your password
        )

    authorization_client = AuthorizationManagementClient(
        credentials,
        subscription_id
    )

## Check permissions for a resource group

The following code checks permissions in a given resource group. To create or manage resource groups, see Resource Management.

    from azure.mgmt.redis.models import Sku, RedisCreateOrUpdateParameters

    group_name = 'myresourcegroup'
    permissions = self.authorization_client.permissions.list_for_resource_group(
        group_name
    )
    # permissions is a iterable of Permissions instances
