Description

Updates the configs of Azure PowerShell. Depending on which config to update, you may specify the scope where the config is persisted and to which module or cmdlet it applies to.

Note

It is discouraged to update configs in multiple PowerShell processes. Either do it in one process, or make sure the updates are at Process scope (-Scope Process) to avoid unexpected side-effects.

Examples

Example 1

Update-AzConfig -DefaultSubscriptionForLogin "Name of subscription"

Key                         Value                Applies To Scope       Help Message
---                         -----                ---------- -----       ------------
DefaultSubscriptionForLogin Name of subscription Az         CurrentUser Subscription name or GUID. Sets the default context for Azure PowerShell when lo…

Sets the "DefaultSubscriptionForLogin" config as "Name of subscription". When Connect-AzAccount the specified subscription will be selected as the default subscription.

Example 2

Update-AzConfig -DisplayBreakingChangeWarning $false -AppliesTo "Az.KeyVault"

Key                          Value Applies To  Scope       Help Message
---                          ----- ----------  -----       ------------
DisplayBreakingChangeWarning False Az.KeyVault CurrentUser Controls if warning messages for breaking changes are displayed or suppressed. When enabled,…

Sets the "DisplayBreakingChangeWarnings" config as "$false" for "Az.KeyVault" module. This prevents all the warning messages for upcoming breaking changes in Az.KeyVault module from prompting.

Example 3

Update-AzConfig -EnableDataCollection $true

Key                  Value Applies To Scope       Help Message
---                  ----- ---------- -----       ------------
EnableDataCollection True  Az         CurrentUser When enabled, Azure PowerShell cmdlets send telemetry data to Microsoft to improve the customer experi…

Sets the "EnableDataCollection" config as "$true". This enables sending the telemetry data. Setting this config is equivalent to Enable-AzDataCollection and Disable-AzDataCollection.

Example 4

Update-AzConfig -DisplaySecretsWarning $true

Key                   Value Applies To Scope       Help Message
---                   ----- ---------- -----       ------------
DisplaySecretsWarning True  Az         CurrentUser When enabled, a warning message for secrets redaction will be displ…

Sets the "DisplaySecretsWarning" config as "$true". This enables the secrets detection during the cmdlet execution and displays a warning message if any secrets are found in the output.

Parameters

-AppliesTo

Specifies what part of Azure PowerShell the config applies to. Possible values are:

• Cmdlet name: the config applies to a certain cmdlet of Azure PowerShell. For example, "Get-AzKeyVault". If not specified, when getting or clearing configs, it defaults to all the above; when updating, it defaults to "Az".

-DisableInstanceDiscovery

Set it to true to disable both instance discovery and authority validation. This functionality is intended for use in scenarios where the metadata endpoint cannot be reached, such as in private clouds or Azure Stack. The process of instance discovery entails retrieving authority metadata from https://login.microsoft.com/ to validate the authority. By setting this to true, the validation of the authority is disabled. As a result, it is crucial to ensure that the configured authority host is valid and trustworthy.
