Hi, i've followed the instructions here <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/azure-native/installation-configuration/#authenticate-using-a-service-principal> but i'm still getting
```azure-native:resources:ResourceGroup resourceGroup  error: obtain subscription() from Azure CLI: parsing json result from the Azure CLI: waiting for the Azure CLI: exit status 1: ERROR: Please run 'az login' to setup account. 
26
     azure-native:resources:ResourceGroup resourceGroup **failed** 1 error ```
Is there something else to do?

Oh its because its tried to deploy master... I'm looking at a deployment for a PR with a successful preview. How do I deploy the PR?

doing it via the cli seems straight forward. is it not supported via the UI?

Hi Sam, what’s the overall scenario here? A GitHub or Azure DevOps PR? Pulumi needs to authenticate and deploy resources in Azure from the PR’s test suite?

We do this ourselves as part of our CI suite. This is the configuration that we set in the GH workflow’s `env:`
```  ARM_CLIENT_ID: &lt;application (client) id of your Active Directory application&gt;
  ARM_CLIENT_SECRET: ${{ secrets.ARM_CLIENT_SECRET }}
  ARM_ENVIRONMENT: public
  ARM_LOCATION: westus2
  ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID: &lt;subscription id&gt;
  ARM_TENANT_ID: &lt;tenant id of your Active Directory application&gt;```

BTW, you can do this also without storing your client secret in GH, <https://www.pulumi.com/blog/oidc-with-azure/|via OIDC>.

I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing. I want to from ../deployments/ have one of the "actions" run against a specific branch. Any action I perform seems to run against master. When I push a PR it seems to trigger a "preview" of that branch but I can't deploy it (from the UI)

Also theres something wrong with this paging ui
