1. Create an "App" in Azure
2. Create an "Application User" in Dynamics

Create an app in Microsoft Azure

1. Log in to Azure Portal
2. Select App registrations
3. Click + New registration
   • Supported account types can be Single tenant

7. Returning to the Overview page, take note of Application (client) ID
8. From the Overview page, click Endpoints and take note of the OAuth 2.0 token endpoint (v2)

You will use the Secret Value, Client ID and Token Endpoint in a moment.
