On Arc-enabled Kubernetes clusters, Custom Locations represents an abstraction of a namespace within the Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes cluster. Custom Locations creates the granular [RoleBindings and ClusterRoleBindings](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/#rolebinding-and-clusterrolebinding) necessary for other Azure services to access the cluster. These other Azure services require cluster access to manage resources you want to deploy on your clusters.

When an administrator enables the Custom Locations feature on the cluster, a ClusterRoleBinding is created on the cluster, authorizing the Azure AD application used by the Custom Locations Resource Provider (RP). Once authorized, Custom Locations RP can create ClusterRoleBindings or RoleBindings needed by other Azure RPs to create custom resources on this cluster. The cluster extensions installed on the cluster determines the list of RPs to authorize.

Azure resource bridge (preview) hosts other components such as Custom Locations, cluster extensions, and other Azure Arc agents in order to deliver the level of functionality with the private cloud infrastructures it supports. This complex system is composed of three layers:

## Using a managed identity
1316

1417
By default, an Azure Active Directory system-assigned [managed identity](../../active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview.md) is created and assigned to the Azure Arc resource bridge (preview). Azure Arc resource bridge (preview) currently supports only a system-assigned identity. The `clusteridentityoperator` identity initiates the first outbound communication and fetches the Managed Service Identity (MSI) certificate used by other agents for communication with Azure.

## Logs

1417
For any issues encountered with the Azure Arc resource bridge, you can collect logs for further investigation. To collect the logs, use the Azure CLI [Az arcappliance log](placeholder for published ref API) command. This command needs to be run from the client machine where you've deployed the Azure Arc resource bridge from.

## Identity and access control
1316

1417
Each Azure Arc-enabled server has a managed identity as part of a resource group inside an Azure subscription. That identity represents the server running on-premises or other cloud environment. Access to this resource is controlled by standard [Azure role-based access control](../../role-based-access-control/overview.md). From the [**Access Control (IAM)**](../../role-based-access-control/role-assignments-portal.md) page in the Azure portal, you can verify who has access to your Azure Arc-enabled server.

You can visit the VMware vCenter blade in Azure arc to view all the connected vCenters. From here, you'll browse your virtual machines (VMs), resource pools, templates, and networks. From the inventory of your vCenter resources, you can select and enable one or more resources in Azure. When you enable a vCenter resource in Azure, it creates an Azure resource that represents your vCenter resource. You can use this Azure resource to assign permissions or conduct management operations.

To deliver this experience, you need to deploy the [Azure Arc resource bridge](../resource-bridge/overview.md) (preview), which is a virtual appliance, in your vSphere environment. It connects your vCenter Server to Azure. Azure Arc resource bridge (preview) enables you to represent the VMware resources in Azure and do various operations on them.
