Azure Health Data Services is a collection of secured managed services using [Microsoft Entra ID](../active-directory/index.yml), a global identity provider that supports [OAuth 2.0](https://oauth.net/2/).

For Azure Health Data Services to access Azure resources, such as storage accounts and event hubs, you must **enable the system managed identity**, and **grant proper permissions** to the managed identity. For more information, see [Azure managed identities](../active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview.md).

Azure Health Data Services doesn't support other identity providers. However, you can use their own identity provider to secure applications, and enable them to interact with the Health Data Services by managing client applications and user data access controls.
