Explanation

In Azure RBAC, both user-assigned and system-assigned managed identities, as well as user accounts and service principals, can be assigned roles like Owner on resource groups. Managed identities are treated as security principals in Azure AD, making Managed1, Managed2, VM1, and VM2 (as Azure AD objects/users) all eligible for Owner role assignment on RG1. For managed identity assignment to VMs, a user-assigned managed identity (like Managed2) can only be assigned to VMs within the same region and subscription - if Managed2 is in a specific region, it can only be attached to VMs in that same region, which determines whether VM1 and/or VM2 are eligible.
