Azure services that can use managed identities to access other services

  • Article

Managed identities for Azure resources provide Azure services with an automatically managed identity in Microsoft Entra ID. Using a managed identity, you can authenticate to any service that supports Microsoft Entra authentication without managing credentials. We are integrating managed identities for Azure resources and Microsoft Entra authentication across Azure. This page provides links to services' content that can use managed identities to access other Azure resources. Each entry in the table includes a link to service documentation discussing managed identities.

Important

New technical content is added daily. This list does not include every article that talks about managed identities. Please refer to each service's content set for details on their managed identities support. Resource provider namespace information is available in the article titled Resource providers for Azure services.
