What is the difference between a user and a service principal/managed identity?

Question

SAMUEL RUFUS · Accepted Answer

A service principal is a non-human identity used by applications, while a managed identity is a special type of service principal automatically managed by Azure for Azure resources. The key difference is credential management: managed identities have their credentials handled automatically by Azure, eliminating the need for manual secret rotation and making them the most secure option for Azure services.
