Using a System-Assigned Managed Identity to Trigger a Logic App in a Different Subscription from Azure Data Factory

Question

Can a system-assigned managed identity be used to connect to a resource in a different subscription? I want to trigger a logic app, which is in a different subscription, from my Azure Data Factory using a managed identity. Is this possible, and if so, what are the steps to set it up?

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Certainly! You can use a system-assigned managed identity to connect to a resource in a different subscription within the same Azure AD tenant.

And you can use it for ADF as well.
