Hi all,

I’m trying to create an Azure Analytics workspace with a User Managed Identity.

> **[azure.azcollection.azure\_rm\_loganalyticsworkspace module – Manage Azure Log...](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/azure/azcollection/azure_rm_loganalyticsworkspace_module.html)**

Creating the resource without specifying the identity works !  
Configuration the identity fails with  
collection/plugins/modules/azure\_rm\_loganalyticsworkspace.py", line 256, in exec\_module  
AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘as\_dict’

- name: Create Log Analytics Workspace “{{ azure\_log\_1\_1\_name\_id }}” in “{{ azure\_resource\_group\_name\_logs\_1\_id }}”  
azure.azcollection.azure\_rm\_loganalyticsworkspace:  
subscription\_id: “{{ azure\_subscription\_id }}”  
tenant: “{{ azure\_tenant\_id }}”  
ad\_user: “{{ azure\_ad\_user\_id }}”  
password: “{{ azure\_ad\_user\_password\_id }}”  
location: “{{ azure\_location\_1\_id }}”  
resource\_group: “{{ azure\_resource\_group\_name\_logs\_1\_id }}”  
name: “{{ azure\_log\_1\_1\_name\_id }}”  
# Identity is not working !  
identity:  
type: “UserAssigned”  
user\_assigned\_identity: “/subscriptions/{{ azure\_subscription\_id }}/resourceGroups/{{ azure\_resource\_group\_name\_secu\_1\_id }}/providers/Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/userAssignedIdentities/{{ azure\_user\_managed\_identity\_1\_2\_name\_id }}”  
retention\_in\_days: 40

ansible [core 2.17.12]  
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg  
configured module search path = [‘/root/.ansible/plugins/modules’, ‘/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]  
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible  
ansible collection location = /root/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections  
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible  
python version = 3.10.12 (main, May 27 2025, 17:12:29) [GCC 11.4.0] (/usr/bin/python3)  
jinja version = 3.0.3  
libyaml = True

Any idea ??

Regards,
