Explanation

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/managed-identities-azure- resources/overview#managed-identity-types - User-assigned. You may also create a managed identity as a standalone Azure resource. You can create a user- assigned managed identity and assign it to one or more Azure Resources. When you enable a user-assigned managed identity: -- A service principal of a special type is created in Azure AD for the identity. The service principal is managed separately from the resources that use it. -- User-assigned identities can be used by multiple resources. -- You authorize the managed identity to have access to one or more services.
