-If you want to avoid providing, storing, and managing credentials, secrets, or Microsoft Entra tokens, you can use a managed identity to authenticate access or connections from your logic app workflow to Microsoft Entra protected resources. In Azure Logic Apps, some connector operations support using a managed identity when you must authenticate access to resources protected by Microsoft Entra ID. Azure manages this identity and helps keep authentication information secure so that you don't have to manage this sensitive information. For more information, see [What are managed identities for Azure resources](/entra/identity/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview)?
+When you need to authenticate connection access to Microsoft Entra ID protected resources from your logic app workflows, use a *managed identity* to avoid storing and managing credentials, secrets, or Microsoft Entra tokens.

 Azure Logic Apps supports the following managed identity types:
 
 - [System-assigned managed identity](/entra/identity/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview#managed-identity-types)
-
 - [User-assigned managed identity](/entra/identity/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview#managed-identity-types)
 
-The following list describes some differences between these managed identity types:
-
-- A logic app resource can enable and use only one unique system-assigned identity.
-
-- A logic app resource can share the same user-assigned identity across a group of other logic app resources.
-
 This guide shows how to complete the following tasks:
 
 - Enable and set up the system-assigned identity for your logic app resource. This guide provides an example that shows how to use the identity for authentication.
 
-- Create and set up a user-assigned identity. This guide shows how to create this identity using the Azure portal or an Azure Resource Manager template (ARM template) and how to use the identity for authentication.

 ## Managed identity differences between Consumption and Standard logic apps
 
 Based on your logic app resource type, you can enable either the system-assigned identity, user-assigned identity, or both at the same time:

 Azure Logic Apps uses [Azure Storage](../storage/index.yml) for any storage operations. In traditional *multitenant* Azure Logic Apps, any storage usage and costs are attached to the logic app. Now, in *single-tenant* Azure Logic Apps, you can use your own storage account. These storage costs are listed separately in your Azure billing invoice. This capability gives you more flexibility and control over your logic app data.

 Storage costs change based on your workflows' content. Different triggers, actions, and payloads result in different storage operations and needs.
