    Manages a user assigned identity.

    Example Usage

    using Pulumi;
using Azure = Pulumi.Azure;

class MyStack : Stack
{
    public MyStack()
    {
        var exampleResourceGroup = new Azure.Core.ResourceGroup("exampleResourceGroup", new Azure.Core.ResourceGroupArgs
        {
            Location = "West Europe",
        });
        var exampleUserAssignedIdentity = new Azure.Authorization.UserAssignedIdentity("exampleUserAssignedIdentity", new Azure.Authorization.UserAssignedIdentityArgs
        {
            ResourceGroupName = exampleResourceGroup.Name,
            Location = exampleResourceGroup.Location,
        });
    }

}

    package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-azure/sdk/v4/go/azure/authorization"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-azure/sdk/v4/go/azure/core"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		exampleResourceGroup, err := core.NewResourceGroup(ctx, "exampleResourceGroup", &core.ResourceGroupArgs{
			Location: pulumi.String("West Europe"),
		})
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
