Description Disabling local authentication methods improves security by ensuring that Azure AI Search services exclusively require Azure Active Directory identities for authentication. Learn more at: https://aka.ms/azure-cognitive-search/rbac. Note that while the disable local authentication parameter is still in preview, the deny effect for this policy may result in limited Azure AI Search portal functionality since some features of the Portal use the GA API which does not support the parameter.
