- When using managed identity on the Azure Batch connection, you will need to have configured a managed identity (of either System Assigned or User Assigned) for the Loome Agent that will be used with this connection. The managed identity will need to be created on the agent container or VM.
- In your Azure Batch Account, the agent will need to have Contributor access.
How to Enable Managed Identity in your Azure Batch Connection
