Azure Key Vault Access Configuration Update

Azure RBAC is now the recommended authorization system for the Azure Key Vault data plane.
Azure RBAC is built on [Azure Resource Manager](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/overview) and provides fine-grained access management of Azure resources. With Azure RBAC you control access to resources by creating role assignments, which consist of three elements: a security principal, a role definition (predefined set of permissions), and a scope (group of resources or individual resource).
Azure RBAC offers several advantages over access policies:
* A unified access control model for Azure resource-- it uses the same API across Azure services
* Centralized access management for administrators - manage all Azure resources in one view
* Integration with [Privileged Identity Management](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/privileged-identity-management/pim-configure) for time-based access control
* Deny assignments - ability to exclude security principals at a particular scope
* More stringent permissions -- managing access for users and service principals require Owner or User Access Administrator roles
