az-account: Print an access token to be used with `MS Graph API`.
$ az account get-access-token --resource-type ${ms-graph}
try on your machine

The command "az account get-access-token --resource-type ${ms-graph}" is used to obtain an access token for a specific Azure resource type called "ms-graph."

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "az" is the command-line interface (CLI) tool for interacting with Azure.
  • "account" refers to the Azure account management commands within the CLI.
  • "get-access-token" is the specific command that retrieves an access token.
  • "--resource-type" is an optional argument that specifies the type of resource for which an access token is needed. In this command, it is set to "${ms-graph}".
  • "${ms-graph}" is a placeholder or variable that represents the resource type "ms-graph". The actual value of "ms-graph" would be defined and provided elsewhere in the script or command environment.

In summary, this command is used to obtain an access token for the specified resource type, which may vary depending on the value assigned to the "${ms-graph}" variable.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
