Managed Identity With PowerShell And Azure Automation Accounts

Join me in creating an automation account and using managed identity to connect to Azure, ExchangeOnline and Graph in this practical powershell example where we'll discuss how to connect, how to add permissions to a service principal and also a little bonus tip on how to get an access token for graph using Az and managed identity with the Get-AzAccessToken cmdlet.

The way you use managed identities in an automation account is the same as in an a powershell azure function app.
