Hello Tuan Nguyen,

If your automation account works fine when the managed identity is off but not when it is on, it may be due to the necessary permissions not being assigned to the Automation Account Identity from the storage account, as the storage account table is not accessible.

you didn't mention if you were managed identity was system or user. If it's a user identity, do you get the same outcome if you were to use a system identity? Has there been any configuration changes on the affected storage account? How is the storage account configured?"

Hope this helps!

Hello,

Let me clarify. I have Managed Identities tied to my Azure automation account. It worked well up until a few weeks ago (it has the proper permissions). It still works intermittently now. This is the problem. I don't think it has anything to do with permissions since it worked before and still intermittently works now. Do you have any other possibilities for such issues?
