Create the service connection

1. From your project dashboard, select Project settings. If you don't have a project, create a project now.

2. On the settings page, select Pipelines > Service connections, select New service connection, and then select Azure Resource Manager.

3. Select App registration (automatic) with the credential option Workload identity federation.

4. Set the service connection options:

   • Scope Select Subscription.
   • Subscription Select your Azure portal subscription.
   • Resource Group Select the resource group you created earlier.
   • Service connection name Type a name and then copy and paste it into a text file so you can use it later.
   • If desired, select Grant access permission to all pipelines. To select this option, you'll need the service connection Administrator role.

   

Tip

If you need to create a connection to an Azure subscription that's owned by someone else, see Create an Azure Resource Manager service connection with an existing service principal.

3. Select Save to create your new service connection.
