Details

Details tab contains attributes below about the automation account.

Attribute Description
Name The display name of the automation account with tenant suffix
Location The Azure region where the automation account is deployed
State The current state of the automation account (e.g., Ok)

Runtime

When runtime configuration is available, the following attributes are shown in a separate Runtime section.

Attribute Description
Default Runtime Version The default PowerShell runtime version used by runbooks in the automation account
Hybrid Worker Service URL The hybrid worker service URL used by hybrid runbook workers connected to this automation account

Managed Identities

The Managed Identities tab lists Azure Active Directory service principals (managed identities) assigned to the automation account. A managed identity lets the automation account (and the runbooks executing in it) authenticate to other Azure resources (e.g. Key Vault, Storage, SQL) without storing credentials in code or configuration. Any role granted to an identity listed here is effectively granted to this automation account, so these identities are part of its attack surface.

Attribute Description
Name The display name of the managed identity with tenant suffix
Display Name The display name of the service principal
Type The service principal type (e.g., ManagedIdentity)
