 ### Install support for PSCredential
 
 Azure Automation uses the [PSCredential](/dotnet/api/system.management.automation.pscredential) class to represent a credential asset. Your scripts retrieve `PSCredential` objects using the `Get-AutomationPSCredential` cmdlet. For more information, see [Credential assets in Azure Automation](shared-resources/credentials.md).

 To prepare a new credential asset in Windows PowerShell, your script first creates a `PSCredential` object using the assigned user name and password. The script then uses this object to create the asset through a call to the [New-AzureAutomationCredential](/powershell/module/servicemanagement/azure/new-azureautomationcredential) cmdlet. Alternatively, the script can call the [Get-Credential](/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.security/get-credential) cmdlet to prompt the user to type in a name and password. See [Credential assets in Azure Automation](shared-resources/credentials.md).

 ## Manage Azure resources from an Azure Automation runbook
 
 You can manage Azure resources from Azure Automation runbooks using the credential asset. Below is an example PowerShell runbook that collects the credential asset to use for stopping and starting virtual machines in an Azure subscription. This runbook first uses `Get-AutomationPSCredential` to retrieve the credential to use to authenticate to Azure. It then calls the [Connect-AzAccount](/powershell/module/az.accounts/connect-azaccount) cmdlet to connect to Azure using the credential.
