 * An Entra ID token for authentication. Your application needs an object that implements the [TokenCredential](https://learn.microsoft.com/python/api/azure-core/azure.core.credentials.tokencredential) interface. Code samples here use [DefaultAzureCredential](https://learn.microsoft.com/python/api/azure-identity/azure.identity.defaultazurecredential). To get that working, you will need:
   * An appropriate role assignment. See [Role-based access control in Microsoft Foundry portal](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/foundry/concepts/rbac-foundry). Role assignment can be done via the "Access Control (IAM)" tab of your Azure AI Project resource in the Azure portal.
   * [Azure CLI](https://learn.microsoft.com/cli/azure/install-azure-cli) installed.
