Description

Provides the ability to create service accounts that can be used to store credential to access identity provider like Azure AD.

Each service account is tied to a single identity provider.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Create a new service account to access AzureAD with AzureArcResourceManagement capability.

New-AcctServiceAccount -IdentityProviderType AzureAD -IdentityProviderIdentifier f439f4c0-fcd8-4fe6-95b8-71e7e49dc8c6 -AccountId ac14e785-cdb2-4e18-9240-8b49583b11a2 -AccountSecret $password -SecretExpiryTime 2024-09-09 -Capabilities 'AzureArcResourceManagement'

ServiceAccountUid            : 17631afc-2e4c-491e-b0aa-f979a80e32c1
