  • You can't sign in VS Code Azure Function extension with a service principal.

    You must use the CLI command below to Sign in with the Service Principal.

    az login --service-principal -u <app-id> -p <password-or-cert> --tenant <tenant>

    az account set --subscription "subscription_name"

    Output :

    This will not set your Azure account with service principal id and when you use DefaultAzureCredentials or try to deploy function app it will deploy it with this account.

    Try deploying your function with this command in your CLI:-

    func azure functionapp publish <APP_NAME>

    Check this MS Doc to Sign in with the Service Principal.
