kql - Kusto.Explorer requires secondary account to access azure Log Analytics workspace

Question

I am having a challenge accessing azure LA/AI workspace with desktop Kusto.Exploer. I cannot use RUNAS to invoke my secondary account with credentials, accessing workspace in azure. Note that I am able to do that using dataexplorer.azure.com ( since i am already logged into azure portal). Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Kusto Explorer allows sign in form within the Client itself – using the Connections toolbar : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-explorer/kusto/tools/kusto-explorer#connections-tab

You can –

1. Click on ‘Sign-Out from AAD’
2. Add your cluster again, and now you'll be prompted to Sign In where you can use the creds from your other User Account.
