Assuming an Azure DevOps pipeline has been authorized to use a service connection. If the user that is running the pipeline does NOT have permission on the same service connection, will he/she be able to run the pipeline still? Just want to see which takes precedence.

Thanks

Hey Vito Liu. Thanks for the quick response and taking the time to test it. So the take-away here is that the pipeline will ignore personal account and use the pipeline service account.
