Azure Automation provides Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication support for all Automation service public endpoints.

Azure Automation provides an optional feature to "Disable local authentication" at the Automation account level using the Azure policy [Configure Azure Automation account to disable local authentication](../automation/policy-reference.md#azure-automation).
