 # Run Automation runbooks on a Hybrid Runbook Worker
 
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> -  Azure Automation Agent-based User Hybrid Runbook Worker (Windows and Linux) will retire on **31 August 2024** and wouldn't be supported after that date. You must complete migrating existing Agent-based User Hybrid Runbook Workers to Extension-based Workers before 31 August 2024. Moreover, starting **1 November 2023**, creating new Agent-based Hybrid Workers wouldn't be possible. [Learn more](migrate-existing-agent-based-hybrid-worker-to-extension-based-workers.md).
-> - Azure Automation Run As Account will retire on September 30, 2023 and will be replaced with Managed Identities. Before that date, you'll need to start migrating your runbooks to use [managed identities](automation-security-overview.md#managed-identities). For more information, see [migrating from an existing Run As accounts to managed identity](migrate-run-as-accounts-managed-identity.md#sample-scripts) to start migrating the runbooks from Run As account to managed identities before September 30, 2023.

 Runbooks that run on a [Hybrid Runbook Worker](automation-hybrid-runbook-worker.md) typically manage resources on the local computer or against resources in the local environment where the worker is deployed. Runbooks in Azure Automation typically manage resources in the Azure cloud. Even though they are used differently, runbooks that run in Azure Automation and runbooks that run on a Hybrid Runbook Worker are identical in structure.

 Runbooks in Azure Automation might not have access to resources in other clouds or in your on-premises environment because they run on the Azure cloud platform. You can use the Hybrid Runbook Worker feature of Azure Automation to run runbooks directly on the machine hosting the role and against resources in the environment to manage those local resources. Runbooks are stored and managed in Azure Automation and then delivered to one or more assigned machines.

 Starting a runbook on a Hybrid Runbook Worker uses a **Run on** option that allows you to specify the name of a Hybrid Runbook Worker group when initiating from the Azure portal, with the Azure PowerShell, or REST API. When a group is specified, one of the workers in that group retrieves and runs the runbook. If your runbook does not specify this option, Azure Automation runs the runbook in the Azure sandbox.
