How to Secure a Dataverse Plug-in with Managed Identity using Plugin Identity Manager for XrmToolBox


The ability to assign managed identities to Dataverse plug-ins has been introduced in the Power Platform. This feature allows plug-ins to securely connect with Azure resources without managing credentials. However, setting up plug-in managed identities can be a daunting process. To simplify this, a community tool called the Plugin Identity Manager for XrmToolBox has been created. This tool allows users to create, update, and delete managed identity records in Dataverse, link managed identities to plug-in assemblies, and inspect existing plugin/identity configurations. The article provides a step-by-step guide on how to set up a managed identity for a Dataverse plug-in and use the Plugin Identity Manager tool for the final configuration step.
