I have deleted Azure Resources group along with all resources manually. Now I can see 2 Service principal left behind. How can I identify if these service principles are related to any other resource which may still exist?

If I delete these service principles, will it impact any other application or resources.

    Hi Satish Kumar (EXT-Nokia), I wan to help you with this question.

    There are multiple solutions for:

    1.) Use Azure Resource Graph Explorer (search for the service in Azure via the search bar):

    The Following Query will get you all existing assignments:

    Resources

    | where type == "microsoft.authorization/roleassignments"

    | where properties.principalId == "<ServicePrincipalID>"

    Another option is to use the Azure CLI: 

    az role assignment list --all --assignee <Pricipal_ID>

    I hope this to solutions help you to answer your question.
