Azure Automation Job input

Question

I have created an automation account in azure subscription. And i have one job which runs on schedule. There are certain input params which are provided to the automation job to execute the runbook.

When this job executes, i can go and check the job details and status. I can see a tab where input params are seen. Is there a way we can mask some values of these input params?

For example - There is one of the param which is a password and the value of it is seen in the input params on azure portal. Is there a way to mask the value of such password type params?

TIA

Hi @Makhija, Priyanka ,

AFAIK currently masking the input parameters in job details is not a supported feature. This is the related feature request which has already been raised in the feedback forum. So if interested I would recommend you to upvote that feature request. In general, Azure feature or product team would check feasibility of a feature request, triage it, prioritize against existing feature backlog, add in roadmap as appropriate and would announce and/or update the related Azure document once a feature request is addressed.

Until the feature request is addressed and implemented, as a workaround, try to avoid having such sensitive information in parameters and instead try to have them as encrypted variable / credential asset.
