Secure Power Platform Deployments with Azure DevOps Workload Identity Federation
Client secrets have traditionally been the go-to method for deploying Power Platform solutions from Azure DevOps, utilizing app registrations from the Azure platform. However, my personal experience has shown that this approach can be problematic, especially when you are not an application admin. It often involves wasting time figuring out why deployments have failed due to expired or missing client secrets. Even when reaching out to someone with application admin rights, they might generate a new client secret but forget to update the service connections for each service connection within Azure Dev Ops or the application admin does not have access requiring to reach out to someone else who have access, causing further disruptions.
