Function System-Assigned Managed Identity

System-assigned Azure managed identity is enabled if user-assigned managed identity is not used. User-assigned managed identities offer less frequent updates to Azure resources and allow for configuration of permissions ahead of function creation.

If you have not created a user-assigned managed identity at Agent Function User-Assigned Managed Identity, setup following role assignments for system-assigned managed identity:

  1. Navigate to the function

  2. Select Settings, Identity.

  3. Confirm Status of system-assigned identity is already On on System Assigned tab

  4. Click on Azure role assignments button.

  5. Assign following roles to this identity:

    • Storage Blob Data Owner with scope Storage account
    • Monitoring Metrics Publisher with scope Resource Group
    • Website Contributor with scope Resource Group
