Power Platform managed identities allow publishers of Dataverse plug-ins to securely connect to Azure resources without having to store or expose credentials. Managed identities eliminate the need for developers to manage these credentials.
You can use Power Platform managed identities to access Azure resources without the need for usernames or passwords.
For example, suppose you want to connect to Azure Key Vault without using a username and password to retrieve secrets to connect to an external web service from your third-party or ISV plug-ins. You can leverage Power Platform managed identities from your third-party or ISV plug-ins to directly connect to Azure Key Vault to retrieve the secrets securely and access the external web service.
