!!! info

- Only **one managed identity per workspace** is allowed
- The managed identity name will be automatically set to the workspace name
- Any provided name in the command is ignored
- Attempting to create multiple identities triggers a `WorkspaceIdentityAlreadyExists` error

Create a managed identity for the workspace to enable secure access to Azure resources.

fab create ws1.Workspace/.managedidentities/workspace-identity.ManagedIdentity

fab exists ws1.Workspace/.managedidentities/ws1.ManagedIdentity

fab ls ws1.Workspace/.managedidentities

List Managed Identities with Details

fab ls ws1.Workspace/.managedidentities -l

Remove Managed Identity

Remove Managed Identity with Confirmation

Delete the workspace managed identity with interactive confirmation.

fab rm ws1.Workspace/.managedidentities/ws1.ManagedIdentity

Delete the workspace managed identity without confirmation prompts.
