As part of implementing Managed Disks SSE-CMK, we are planning to associate/add "Disk Encryption Set "managed Identity to Azure security AD groups. Is it possible?

As per my knowledge I can do this with user managed Identity, but would like to know whether same possible through AD groups or not.

    @Venkat

    Thank you for your post and I apologize for the delayed response!

    I understand that you're leveraging Server-side encryption with Customer-managed keys and would like to know if it's possible to add a Disk Encryption Set's managed Identity to an Azure AD Security Group. To hopefully help point you in the right direction or resolve your issue, I'll share my findings below.


    Findings:
    Based off what I found, it's possible to associate a Disk Encryption Set's managed identity to an Azure AD group - When a disk encryption set is created, a system-assigned managed identity is created in Azure Active Directory (AD) and associated with the disk encryption set. For more info.

    To add the Managed Identity to an Azure AD Security Group:

    1. Create an Azure AD Group
    2. Add your Disk Encryption Set Managed Identity to the Azure AD Group
    3. Assign the required permissions to your Azure AD group.
