In this article, you’ll learn how to register a service client application in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). Client application registrations are Azure AD representations of applications that can be used to authenticate and obtain tokens. A service client is intended to be used by an application to obtain an access token without interactive authentication of a user. It will have certain application permissions and use an application secret (password) when obtaining access tokens.

Follow these steps to create a new service client.

  1. In the Azure portal, navigate to Azure Active Directory.

  2. Select App registrations.

    Azure portal. New App Registration.

  3. Select New registration.
