Azure App Registration
Azure App Registration is the process of registering an application within Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) so that it can authenticate users, request permissions, and interact with Microsoft services like SharePoint, Teams, and Microsoft Graph.
For banks and credit unions using Microsoft 365 or Entra ID, app registration is a critical step in enabling secure integrations between their intranet and Microsoft's cloud services.
Why It Matters
Without app registration, your intranet can't securely query Microsoft Graph, search SharePoint, or pull directory information. Registration ensures proper authentication, consent management, and role-based access - all important in regulated environments.
Typical Use Cases
- Enable SSO for intranet users via Microsoft Entra ID
- Pull user profile information (names, job titles, departments)
- Search SharePoint from within the intranet
- Automate policy distribution based on Microsoft group membership
