• Select "Microsoft Entry Id"

• Go to Manage Tenants

• Selecting the tenant from the list will give you the tenant details, including the tenant_id

Registering the App

Go to your Azure portal and register a new app in the Azure Active Directory

Be sure the setup the following with:

• The authentication mechanism selected during the app registration should be “client credentials”

• Dynamics must be accessible by the application via Web

(you are free to choose whichever app name is best fits the need of your organization). 

• API permissions must be set as shown in the screenshots below to give access to common data services for Dynamics CRM. 

Configure Access in Dynamics

Configure Access in Power Platform Admin Center

• Manage Users
• Switch to App Users
• Add User
• Search for the app registration you created above in Azure Entry ID and add that user
