How can I tag Service Principals or App Registrations (or whatever they're called)?

Question

I have app registrations with secrets/certs I want to programmatically track in terms of expiration. But to do this, I need to somehow tag either the secrets/certs themselves of the app registration with ownership information (so I can inform the right people).

I've been unable to find clear documentation on the process. The manifest for app registrations clearly shows a "tags" field.

But how do I actually add, update, and remove tags? I've tried a number of CLI options including:

az ad sp update --id $appID --add $tags


az tag update --resource-id $appID --operation Merge --tags owner=

Hi @ExtraLargeFork

You can try the following command to update the tags of your application.

mgc applications patch --application-id {application-id} --body '
\
"{\"tags\": [\"ProductionApp\"]}"'

Hope this helps.
