To enable a system-assigned managed identity in the Azure portal for different resources, follow these steps:
For Azure Virtual Machines (VMs):
1. Sign in to the Azure portal using an account associated with the Azure subscription that contains the VM.2. Navigate to the desired Virtual Machine.
3. In the Security section, select Identity.
4. Under System assigned, set the Status to On.
5. Click Save to apply the changes.
For Azure Automation Accounts:
1. Sign in to the Azure portal.2. Navigate to your Automation account.
3. Under Account Settings, select Identity.
4. Set the System assigned option to On.
5. Press Save and confirm when prompted.
For Other Resources (e.g., Logic Apps, Spring Apps):
1. Navigate to the resource in the Azure portal.2. Find the Identity settings, usually under a Settings or similar section.
3. Under System assigned, set the Status to On.
4. Click Save to apply the changes.
In all cases, enabling system-assigned managed identity requires appropriate permissions, such as the Virtual Machine Contributor role for VMs, and does not require additional Microsoft Entra directory role assignments[1][2][3].
