Support for User Managed Identity

[bahramr]

In order to prevent the possible exposure of credentials in the Cloud, we need to use a User Managed Identity to run this action from a self-hosted agent deployed in Azure.
Is there a plan to implement that?

Hey @bahramr, is this in terms of credentials that are used as parameters to run the action?
We can use secret store as a best practice.

Hi @kanika1894 , this is to use the User Managed Identity object ID as a parameter of the AZ Login action. That way you don't have to store any secret in the cloud.
