Microsoft has recently announced a new feature that allows us to use managed identities to authenticate across tenants. This is a big deal, and opens up a new secure way of managing multiple tenants in Azure.

One of the biggest security concerns facing developers today is credential leakage and features like this help alleviate the risk of potentially leaving secrets in source control by removing the need for them entirely!

In this post I’ll show you how to set this up to authenticate to a second tenant in an Azure function app, and how to use it to call the Microsoft Graph API!

In the previous post, we looked at how to apply Graph API permissions to a managed identity. In this post, we’ll look at how to leverage this to make calls to the Microsoft Graph API from an Azure function app.

Recently, one of my colleagues sent me a really cool Intune application patching report that they were working on and I wanted to see if I could make the data collection more automated / dynamic. Now, It’s been a LONG time since I’ve dipped my toes into the headache that is PowerBI, but once I see a challenge, it’s difficult for me to leave it alone…

Talking about ways to authenticate to Graph is one of my least favourite subjects. After a while it gets a bit monotonous, but as with all technologies, things change..
