Currently Azure Backup places a lock on a storage account that is being backed up. We don't want these locks as they prevent any removal of role assignments.

Is there a way to prevent the lock being automatically placed?

    To prevent automatic locking by Azure Backup on a storage account, you can remove the lock from the recovery point resource group:

    1. Sign in to the Azure portal
    2. Select All Resources
    3. Select the restore point collection resource group
    4. In the Settings section, select Locks.
    5. select the ellipsis and select Delete

    You can also stop protection for a backup item by following these steps:

    1. Go to the Backup center
    2. Select Backup Instances from the menu
    3. Select Azure Files (Azure Storage) as the datasource type
    4. Select the backup item for which you want to stop protection
    5. Select the Stop backup option
    6. On the Stop Backup blade, select Retain Backup Data or Delete Backup Data
