On the left side, under Shared Resources, click on Credentials

Then, create a user...
Name: You decide the name
User Name: It has to be a valid user in your tenant AD
Password: The password of the user account.

When created, you can call this user in your Automation Account script

You have created the automation account as well as the run as account ?

Then you have imported a ps script from the gallery and then you want to run this script with the automation account?

Any error message?

Exception:
The running command stopped because the preference variable "ErrorActionPreference" or common parameter is set to Stop: Credential not found. To create this Credential, navigate to the Credentials blade and create a Credential named: AzureCredential. Refer doc for more details (https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/automation/shared-resources/credentials#create-a-new-credential-asset)

I don't know how is the way to create AzureCredential.

Thanks,
