Register a new application using the Azure Portal

Introduction

This operation requires administrator privileges within the Azure portal.

The Microsoft OneDrive for Business data source uses the standard Microsoft Graph API to handle data retrieval. This requires the creation of a new application within Azure.

Step-by-step

To create a new Application ID in Azure:

1. Log in to https://portal.azure.com as a user with admin privileges

2. From the left-hand menu select Azure Active Directory

3. Select App registration ⇾ New registration

4. Give the Application a name and select Accounts in this organizational directory only (directory name)

5. Select register

6. Select API permissions and then select add permissions

7. Select Microsoft Graph

8. Select Application permissions ⇾ Delegated Permissions

9. Type the Permission name into the search field then select and add the permission

The Azure Active Directory Graph permissions are:

API/Permissions name	Type	Description
User.Read	Delegated	Sign in and read user profile
User.ReadBasic.All	Delegated	Read all users’ basic profiles

The Microsoft Graph permissions are:

API/Permissions name	Type	Description
Files.Read	Delegated	Read user files
Files.Read.All	Delegated	Read all files that user can access
Sites.Read.All	Delegated	Read items in all site collections
User.Read	Delegated	Sign in and read user profile
User.Read.All	Delegated	Read all users’ full profiles
User.ReadBasic.All	Delegated	Read all users’ basic profiles
email	Delegated	View users’ email address
profile	Delegated	View users’ basic profile

10. After you’ve added all the permissions, select Grant admin consent for directory name

11. On the Authentication page make sure ID tokens is checked and that Treat application as a public client is set to yes

12. Copy the Application(client) ID from the overview page

This is the ID you’ll use when you configure the OneDrive for Business data source.
