Been looking for a while but couldn't find the answer. I've been using service principle on my azure devops to modify my azure infrastructure via piplines (proper permissions). I need to run some of the commands locally using powershell, for example delete some of my azure roles.

Is there a way to use my service principle's permissions via cli / powershell to achieve what I'm looking for? Cannot do it via Connect-Azure as my user account's role has insufficient permissions. I need to do it with service principle.

Yes, you can login to the Azure CLI with a Service Principal.

To sign in with a service principal, you need:

  • The URL or name associated with the service principal
  • The service principal password, or the X509 certificate used to create the service principal in PEM format
  • The tenant associated with the service principal, as either an .onmicrosoft.com domain or Azure object ID

az login --service-principal -u <app-id> -p <password-or-cert> --tenant <tenant>
