NotActions, DataActions, NotDataActions are optional.

Examples

$roleDef.Actions.Add("Microsoft.ClassicCompute/virtualmachines/start/action")
$roleDef.Description = "Can monitor all resources and start and restart virtual machines"
$roleDef.AssignableScopes = @("/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx", "/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx")
Set-AzRoleDefinition -Role $roleDef

Example 2: Create using JSON file

Set-AzRoleDefinition -InputFile C:\Temp\roleDefinition.json
<#
