# Add an Azure AI Foundry connection

# Add an Azure AI Foundry connection {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated August 31, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Connect Azure AI Foundry to AI Control Tower so that policies and AI
agent containment using kill switch protocol can reach and act on agents running on Azure AI
Foundry.

## Before you begin

Confirm the following:

* You have an Azure AI Foundry agent already discovered in AI Control Tower inventory.
* You have an Azure AD app registration (service principal) with a role assignment that permits disabling and enabling agent applications on the target resource group.

Role required: sn_ai_governance.ai_steward

## About this task

Adding this connection has two parts: first you create a connection and credential alias that stores your Azure credentials, then you attach that alias to the security connector in AI Control Tower.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to Connection \& Credential Aliases (`sys_alias.list`).
2. Select New, set Type to Credential, and select Submit.
3. In the resulting alias record, create a credential and fill in the fields.
4. Select Submit.  
   The Connection \& Credential Alias record now has this credential attached.
5. Navigate to AI Control TowerSettingsIntegrationsControl Enforcement Points.
6. On the Available connectors sub-tab, select Azure AI Foundry.
7. Fill in the fields.  
   {#aict-configure-azure-foundry-connection__table_azure_foundry_connector_fields__entry__2}

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Name | Unique, descriptive name for this connection. |
   | Connection Alias | The Connection \& Credential Alias record you created in the previous steps. |
   | Active | Select this option. |
   [Table 1. Azure AI Foundry security connector fields]

   {#aict-configure-azure-foundry-connection__table_azure_foundry_connector_fields}
8. Select Submit.
{#aict-configure-azure-foundry-connection__steps_azure_foundry}

## Result

The connector appears on the Established connections sub-tab. AI Control Tower can now use this connection to enforce policies and apply
AI agent containment using kill switch protocol to agents running on the connected Azure AI
Foundry service.
