Setup guide

Prerequisites

• A Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations environment (cloud-hosted or sandbox)
• An Azure Active Directory (Entra ID) app registration with API permissions for Dynamics 365

Step 1: Register an application in Azure AD

1. Sign in to the Azure portal and navigate to Azure Active Directory → App registrations → New registration.

2. Give the application a name, select the appropriate account type, and click Register.

3. Note the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID from the overview page.

4. Under Certificates & secrets, create a new client secret and note the value immediately — it is only shown once.

Step 2: Grant Dynamics 365 API permissions

1. In the app registration, go to API permissions → Add a permission → APIs my organization uses.

2. Search for Dynamics 365 (or Microsoft Dynamics ERP) and add the user_impersonation (or .default) delegated/application scope.

3. Click Grant admin consent for your tenant.

Step 3: Add the app as a D365 user

1. In your D365 Finance environment, go to System administration → Users → New.

2. Set the User ID and User name, then paste the Azure AD Application (client) ID into the Azure AD application field.

3. Assign appropriate security roles and save.
