Description

#1130 (big thank you!) brought support for enabling MSI for appservices ("SystemAssigned" Identity).

The missing piece is to support this also for deployment slots. According to this thread, this is now supported - in preview like for the primary slot.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• azurerm_app_service_slot

Potential Terraform Configuration

azurerm_app_service_slot {
...
  identity = {
    type = "SystemAssigned"
  }
}

Here's how to do it manually using Azure CLI (the fact that you can send in the path of a webapp slot into the webapp command is not documented AFAICT)

az webapp identity assign -n "mainapp/slots/slotname" -g "resourcegroup"
{
  "additionalProperties": {},
  "principalId": "<guid>",
  "tenantId": "<guid>",
  "type": "SystemAssigned"
}
