Absolutely amazing. I had to hit pause about ten times while I followed along, but that's OK! Saved as reference. Amazing power being delivered. Thank you.
I am trying to use PAD for a weekly thing I need to run from my desktop once a week - but since it's requiring my login to my M365 (Global Admin) account to run it, I would love to see how this simple example could possibly prompt/pull secrets/credentials from elsewhere.

Great video, Reza! Did you encounter limitations in the integration between the two environments, PAD and Cloud? This integration will be the path of many projects.
