# Azure authentication
By default Prowler uses Azure Python SDK identity package authentication methods using the classes `DefaultAzureCredential` and `InteractiveBrowserCredential`.
This allows Prowler to authenticate against azure using the following methods:
- Service principal authentication by environment variables (Enterprise Application)
- Current AZ CLI credentials stored
- Interactive browser authentication
- Managed identity authentication
To launch the tool it is required to specify which method is used through the following flags:
```console
# To use service principal authentication
prowler azure --sp-env-auth
# To use az cli authentication
prowler azure --az-cli-auth
# To use browser authentication
prowler azure --browser-auth --tenant-id "XXXXXXXX"
# To use managed identity auth
prowler azure --managed-identity-auth
```
To use Prowler you need to set up also the permissions required to access your resources in your Azure account, to more details refer to [Requirements](../../getting-started/requirements.md)
