Azure Managed Identity "userAssignedIdentities" Syntax ":{}" Meaning

Question

Can somebody please explain why we have to define userAssigndIdentities in below syntax?

Example:

      "type": "Microsoft.Web/sites",
      "apiVersion": "2018-11-01",
      "name": "MyFunc",
      "kind": "functionapp",
      "identity": 
      {
        "type": "UserAssigned",
        "userAssignedIdentities": { "[parameters('managedId')]": {} }      
      }

@Lewis Liu Thanks for reaching out. As you are defining the userAssignedIdentities identity to your function app so you can refer to this section for userAssignedIdentities parameters.

Feel free to get back to me if you need any assistance.

 "kind": "functionapp",
            "identity": {
                "type": "UserAssigned",
                "userAssignedIdentities": {               "/subscriptions/subscriptionID/resourcegroups/resourcegroupname/providers/Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/userAssignedIdentities/userdefineidentityname": {}
                }
            }
