Go to Microsoft Entra ID.
Click on App Registrations and then on + New registration.
On the Register an application screen:
- Enter a name for the application.
- In Who can use this application or access this API, select Accounts in this organizational directory only.
- Click the Register button.
Note down the following IDs:
- Application (client) ID.
- Directory (tenant) ID.

Here’s how to add a secret to the App Registration:

Go to Certifications & secrets.
Select the Client secrets tab.
Click on New client secret.
Provide a description and set an expiration date.
Click Add.
Take note of the Client Secret.
It is displayed in the Value field.

The Client Secret is only displayed during creation.

In Navigate, click Subscriptions.
