Hello Experts,

I am trying to use ansible for azure automation and want to use ansible as much as possible for resources creation and auto assigning the role based access.

While doing so , I couldn’t find any replacement for below az cli in ansible module.

“az ad user show --id [username@example.com](mailto:username@example.com)” ( I am doing this to get the ObjectId of the user and group so that i can use that with azure\_rm\_roleassignment module)

Do anyone have suggestion how do we address this ? Also for any az cli if there is no substitute , How one handles this ? If one calls the az cli in playbook then how does he pass the credentials (mainly service principal ).

Looking forward to suggestions.

Regards,  
Prakash.
