Azure Batch - Setting custom user identity for tas

问题:

I am using Azure Batch C# Client API 6.1. I am trying to have all my runs using the same user identity.

I am setting a custom user identity as below, as per MSDN documentation.

var task = new CloudTask("{guid}", "command string")
{
    DisplayName = "display name",
    UserIdentity = new UserIdentity("customUserid")
}

However when the job runs, the task executes under a random user account.

Would anyone know how to make it work OR even if it is supported by the backend Azure Batch service?

Thanks in advance

In order to use named user accounts, you need to first specify a list of UserAccount on your CloudPool during creation.

pool.UserAccounts = new List<UserAccount>
{
    new UserAccount("myadminaccount", "adminpassword", ElevationLevel.Admin),
    new UserAccount("mynonadminaccount", "nonadminpassword", ElevationLevel.NonAdmin),
};

You will then be able to execute tasks assigned to this pool with UserIdentity properties as you have in your example.

Unfortunately the MSDN documentation for this feature is lagging behind currently, but should be updated soon.
