Create an Azure Automation Run As account
Now that you have an Azure Automation account, you'll also need to set up a managed identity if you haven't already. Managed identities will help your runbook access other Microsoft Entra ID-related resources as well as authenticate important automation processes.
To set up a managed identity, follow the directions in Using a system-assigned managed identity for an Azure Automation account.
Important
Azure Automation Run As Account will retire on September 30, 2023 and will be replaced with Managed Identities. Before that date, you'll need to start migrating your runbooks to use managed identities. For more information, see migrating from an existing Run As accounts to managed identity to start migrating the runbooks from Run As account to managed identities before 30 September 2023.
