Error creating service connection to azure resource manager : azure pipelines

Question

Azure Resource Manager using managed identity - when trying to add service connection - so I can use another azure cloud app service to deploy to via pipelines.

I am getting this error when trying:

Service connection field 'creationMode' is not expected in Azure Resource Manager connections using the Managed Service Identity authentication scheme. Parameter name: endpoint.Data[creationMode]

I cant seem to figure out what I can do to not get this error.

Anyone received this before. Is it a permission thing?

Any ideas welcomed.

Answer 1

I had the same error in Azure DevOps creating a service Connection to azure.

The reason was, that I first selected "Service principal" and then went back and selected "Managed identity".

When I started from scratch it worked.

Just in case anyone arrives here with that error message.
