[haileymck]

Describe the bug

1. login with: az login --scope https://graph.microsoft.com//.default --tenant [TENANT-ID]
2. run az devops service-endpoint azurerm create --name [NAME] --azure-rm-subscription-id [SUBSCRIPTION-ID] --azure-rm-subscription-name [SUBSCRIPTION-NAME] --azure-rm-tenant-id [TENANT-ID] --azure-rm-service-principal-id [SERVICE-PRINCIPAL-ID]

and see
Before you can run Azure DevOps commands, you need to run the login command(az login if using AAD/MSA identity else az devops login if using PAT token) to setup credentials. Please see https://aka.ms/azure-devops-cli-auth for more information.

but, I just logged in... this reproduces reliably. I want to use AAD/MSA identity and not PAT
