Hi thanks for reporting! We are working on more prioritized issues at the moment, but will get back to this one soon.

Hi guys,

is there any progress on this issue? Microsoft is advertising to migrate over to workload identities but should also support all pipelines tasks. An update on this task would be good to have. Thanks.

Hi all, any update on this? We are also facing this issue and are going to have to resort back to using a service principal (secret) for AzureFileCopy tasks in ADO pipelines. Thanks!

I would like to stress the importance of having this feature implemented. We have the same situation as @ryanberger-az mentioned above.

WTH. Once again Microsoft is urging customers to move to Workload Identity federation only for the customer to find out that they are not prepared. How can it be that this task has not got any attention 5 months after it has been reported?
Sorry guys but this is unprofessional behavior.

The AzureFileCopyV6 task resolves this issue. It also uses Azure RBAC to access blob storage instead. This requires the identity of the service connection used to have the appropriate RBAC role e.g. Storage Blob Data Contributor. See Assign an Azure role for access to blob data.
