# Managed identities in Azure HDInsight
1414

15-
A managed identity is an identity registered in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) whose credentials are managed by Azure. With managed identities, you don't need to register service principals in Azure AD, or maintain credentials such as certificates.

Managed identities are used in Azure HDInsight to access Azure AD domain services or access files in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 when needed.

There are two types of managed identities: user-assigned and system-assigned. Azure HDInsight supports only user-assigned managed identities. HDInsight does not support system-assigned managed identities. A user-assigned managed identity is created as a standalone Azure resource, which you can then assign to one or more Azure service instances. In contrast, a system-assigned managed identity is created in Azure AD and then enabled directly on a particular Azure service instance automatically. The life of that system-assigned managed identity is then tied to the life of the service instance that it's enabled on.

## HDInsight managed identity implementation
2222

23-
In Azure HDInsight, managed identities are provisioned on each node of the cluster. These identity components, however, are only usable by the HDInsight service. There's currently no supported method for you to generate access tokens using the managed identities installed on HDInsight cluster nodes. For some Azure services, managed identities are implemented with an endpoint that you can use to acquire access tokens for interacting with other Azure services on your own.

### What happens if I delete the managed identity after the cluster creation?
46-
Your cluster will run into issues when the managed identity is needed. There is currently no way to update or change manage identity after the cluster is created. So our recommendation is to make sure that the managed identity is not deleted during the cluster runtime. Alternatively you can re-create the cluster and assign a new managed identity.
