A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
Deployments submitted through the Azure portal, the CLI, PowerShell and the REST API are all authenticated and authorized in one place before reaching the target service. Which service does that?
Correct.
Checked against learn.microsoft.com, July 2026Concept
Every request to create or change something in Azure arrives through one control plane, whatever tool sent it. That single entry point is where authentication, authorization and consistent behavior across tools come from.
Why D
Resource Manager is explicitly described as the service that receives requests from any API, tool, or SDK, authenticates and authorizes them, then forwards them to the appropriate Azure service.
