Select all that apply. Every correct option and no extras are required for credit in the app.

  1. A.Neither type requires authorization on downstream resources
  2. B.A user-assigned identity automatically disappears when any one consuming VM is deleted
  3. C.A user-assigned identity can exist independently and be assigned to multiple resources
  4. D.A system-assigned identity is tied to the lifecycle of one resource
  5. E.A system-assigned identity can always be shared across unrelated resources
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answers

  • A user-assigned identity can exist independently and be assigned to multiple resources
  • A system-assigned identity is tied to the lifecycle of one resource

Lifecycle coupling defines system-assigned identities; independent reuse defines user-assigned identities. System-assigned identities are not shared this way, deleting one consumer does not delete the independent identity, and both need authorization.
