Hello dolphinantonym ,

 

Currently, notebook identities are not yet supported for retrieving secrets from a key vault. Only the user identity running the notebook is currently supported for retrieving secrets.

If you want to be able to access your secrets, your executing user must have permission to access the Key Vault.
Unfortunately, this is still a limitation.

I hope that this will happen soon.

 

Edit: Here you can find documentation on what the workspace identity can be used for.

    AJ1093 do you understand things differently given this comment of yours?

    The default behavior in Microsoft Fabric Notebooks is to use the user identity unless explicitly configured to use the Workspace identity.

    What is the process to "explicitly configure" a Notebook to use the Workspace identity?
