[FIXED] az cli login session scope to process

Issue

In PowerShell you can do the following:

$result = Connect-AzAccount `
  -SubscriptionId $SubscriptionId `
  -TenantId $TenantId `
  -Credential $credential `
  -ContextName $contextName `
  -Scope Process `
  -ServicePrincipal

As per the doc, if you specify the -Scope Process the Az Context will be bound to that specific PS Process.

Determines the scope of context changes, for example, whether changes apply only to the current process, or to all sessions started by this user.

Is there any way of replicating this behaviour with az cli?

My use case I will connect to Azure from a Jenkins job. If I start two jobs, maybe one of them will disconnect via az logout -u <user> and affect the other job.

I would like to isolate the az cli session.

Solution

I haven't personally used it yet, but according to this GitHub issue which links to this documentation, it should be possible using a process scoped environment variable.
