Configure service principal for cloud data source e

Hi DimitraG 

Once you create a service principle, you should always add it to an Entra ID security group. You can then give that security group workspace permissions, which should then allow to read from the lakehouse.

Hi DimitraG ,

There are two types of authentication available for service principals:
password-based authentication (application secret) and certificate-based authentication.
But first you need Microsoft Entra ID.

If you need help creating a service principal, you refer this link
Register a Microsoft Entra app and create a service principal
After creating Service principal you should add it to security group.
You can Enable service principal authentication for admin APIs using these steps

Hope this helps!
