## How long will you support Run As account?
1717

18-
Automation Run As account would be supported for the next one year until **September 30, 2023**. While we continue to support for existing users, we recommend all new users to use Managed identities as the preferred way of runbook authentication. Existing users can create the Run As account, see the account properties and renew the certificate upon expiration till **May 30, 2023**. After this date, you won't be able to create Run As account from the Azure portal. You could still create a Run As account through [PowerShell script](/azure/automation/create-run-as-account#create-account-using-powershell) until the supported time of one year.

## Can Managed Identity be used for both cloud and hybrid jobs?
38-
Azure Automation supports [System-assigned managed identities](/azure/automation/automation-security-overview#managed-identities) for both cloud and Hybrid jobs. Hybrid jobs could be running on a Hybrid runbook worker running on an Azure or non-Azure VM. Currently, Azure Automation supports [User-assigned managed identities](/azure/automation/automation-security-overview#managed-identities-preview) for cloud jobs only.

## Can I use Run as account for new Automation account?
4141
Yes, only in a scenario when Managed identities aren't supported for specific on-premises resources. We'll allow the creation of Run As account through [PowerShell script](/azure/automation/create-run-as-account#create-account-using-powershell).
