az ad sp create-for-rbac

Edit

Create a service principal and configure its access to Azure resources.

The output includes credentials that you must protect. Be sure that you do not include these credentials in your code or check the credentials into your source control. As an alternative, consider using managed identities if available to avoid the need to use credentials.

By default, this command does not assign any role to the service principal. You may use --role and --scopes to assign a specific role and narrow the scope to a resource or resource group. You may also use az role assignment create to create role assignments for this service principal later. See steps to add a role assignment for more information.
