Azure CLI - Default to Microsoft Entra authorization in the Azure portal - how?

Question

I am trying to use the Azure CLI (bash) to create a storage account and set the "Default to Microsoft Entra authorization in the Azure portal" property to "Enabled" (as shown below):

There does not seem to be an option on the Azure CLI storage account create command to do this -- or more likely, I am missing which option to include.

Can this be done via the Azure CLI?

I did try this solution, but it had no effect (The setting was still "Disabled").
