Restore KekIdentity in Synapse Workspace

Question

Hi,

We deleted the managed identity for our synapse workspace that was the KekIdentity

And now, when we open the workspace, none of the resources will load.

I don't see any documentation on how to restore the KekIdentity for the Azure workspace. Please advise.

Thank you...

Answer 1

When a workspace is deleted, the workspace identity is deleted as well. its workspace identity is deleted as well. If the workspace is restored after deletion, the workspace identity is not restored. If you want the restored workspace to have a workspace identity, you must create a new one.

Answer 2

@Dance, Cody R. (ALT) - Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

Could you please confirm if the managed identity named: KekIdentity existed in your subscription or deleted?

You may experience the error message: Failed to load one or more resources due to no response, error code 400 when you don't have permission to access the synapse workspace.

To validate this, you can open Azure Synapse studio and check the permission of the managed identity which you are trying to access the synapse studio.

For more details, refer to Common issues and solutions and to grant permissions, follow these steps Retrieve system-assigned managed identity using Azure portal.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
