T keithyao/batch purge Adds ABAC support for purge command with batched token requests by keithy1012 · Pull Request #577 · Azure/acr-cli

keithy1012 · 2026-02-05T21:56:01Z

Purpose of the PR

Implements batch processing logic for the purge command.
ABAC-enabled registries grant permissions at the repository level, not registry-wide. The current auth flow requests a wildcard scope, which fails for ABAC registries because they cannot grant blanket access to all repositories.
Solution: Detects ABAC registries by checking for aad_identity in the refresh token. Batch token requests for ABAC registries: instead of one wildcard token, request tokens scoped to batches of 10 repositories at a time. Non-ABAC registries continue using the existing wildcard flow.

when you setup basic auth and you try to use purge on abac, does it work?

Yes, just tested and confirmed.

What is tagDeletionSince? It's not a declared variable

Can we first check abac from refreshToken and then constrcrt newAcrCLIClient?

can we output the repository names in the batch?

I suggest we introudue an env to override it so that we can tune it in production environment. Something like ACR_CLI_ABAC_BATCH_SIZE
