			=Access and login methods=
			== Azure Service Principal ==
			You can give an application access to Azure Stack resources by creating a service principal that uses Azure Resource Manager. A service principal lets you delegate specific permissions using role-based access control.
			Steps
			# Register an app with Azure AD
			# Create identity for the app, this identity is called Service Principle (SP)
			# Alternatively you can use Managed Service Identity (MSI)

			Eg. If AKS needs to pull an image from ACR it needs permissions to do so. The Service Principal controls the access.
