Red Hat Official ☛ Managed Identity and Workload Identity support in Azure Red Hat OpenShift [Ed: Red Hat is aggressively selling Microsoft]
As with many Azure services, the service needs to perform legitimate operations within your Azure account. So the question arises as to how the service can obtain those credentials in order to operate in your account? Currently, Azure Red Hat OpenShift requires a service principal with contributor-level access on the virtual network and managed resource group (i.e. a resource group that contains all the cluster components like virtual machines, storage accounts, etc.) in order to operate. This will allow the creation and management of resources that a Red Hat OpenShift cluster requires, including virtual machines, load balancers, storage accounts, etc.

Then there’s the question of where it makes sense to integrate with services, such as identity, hosted by your cloud provider. It can be overwhelming.
