2025-09-02: Managed Identity Operator role

Starting with release v2.0.60, we now assign the Managed Identity Operator role to the managed identity created during the infrastructure installation step in the AVD Addon. This change is necessary to optimize our avdcli executable and enable Azure Image Builder to download large files.

Important: If you’re using avdcli version 2.0.6 or newer without the infrastructure from avd-deployments version 2.0.60 (or newer), your image build will fail with an error indicating that the managed identity is missing.

Manual Role Assignment

To resolve this issue and use the latest version of avdcli without problems, you can manually assign the Managed Identity Operator role:

1. In the Azure Portal, navigate to Managed Identities.

2. Select the managed identity with the name you provided during infrastructure installation.

3. Navigate to the Access Control (IAM) tab.

4. Click +Add → Add role assignment.

5. Search for Managed Identity Operator, select it, and click Next.

6. Click + Select members and search for the managed identity with the name you provided.

7. Select the managed identity and click Review + assign.

After completing these steps, you should see the Managed Identity Operator role assigned to your managed identity in its Access Control tab.
