I have a template to create a RG in Azure.  
I have also created a Microsoft Azure RM Credentials (with subscription id,client-tenant ids, secret)  
However, I’m unable to find any doc reg how to use this credential to authenticate with Azure.  
Can anyone guide me how to use this Credential with this playbook

Hi Prashant

Without testing it, I have read this:

- [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/userguide/credentials.html#microsoft-azure-resource-manager](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/userguide/credentials.html#microsoft-azure-resource-manager)
- [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/scenario\_guides/guide\_azure.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/scenario_guides/guide_azure.html)
- [https://github.com/Azure-Samples/ansible-playbooks#how-to-run](https://github.com/Azure-Samples/ansible-playbooks#how-to-run)

So I think in your playbook/task, you should set some environment variables from template variables, that are filled by Tower:

- name: create vm  
env:
- AZURE\_CLIENT\_ID
- AZURE\_SECRET
- AZURE\_SUBSCRIPTION\_ID  
azure\_rm\_virtualmachine:  
…

And so on.
