How To Create An Application User In Dynamics 365

Creating an application user in Dynamics 365 is essential for businesses looking to leverage applications and integrate them seamlessly with their CRM system. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a novice in the Dynamics 365 ecosystem, understanding the process can save you time and enhance productivity. In this guide, we’ll walk you through each crucial step, and show you how Audox, your trusted Dynamics 365 partner, can assist you in making the process smooth and efficient.

Step-by-Step Process to Create an Application User in Dynamics 365

Step 1: Register the Application

The first step involves registering your application with Azure Active Directory. You’ll need to log in to the Azure Portal and navigate to ‘Azure Active Directory’. Here, you’ll find an option to register a new application. Provide the name, redirect URI, and click on ‘Register’. This step ensures your application is recognized by Dynamics 365.

Step 2: Set API Permissions

After registration, configure the permissions for accessing Dynamics 365. Within Azure Active Directory, navigate to ‘API permissions’ and add Dynamics 365 as a resource. Make sure to grant the necessary permissions to allow access to your data.

Step 3: Configure the Client Secret

To create a secure connection between Dynamics 365 and your application, you’ll need to create a client secret. Within the ‘Certificates and Secrets’ section of your Azure application, generate a new client secret. Make sure to copy the secret value as it will not be displayed again.

Step 4: Create the Application User in Dynamics 365

Once your application is registered and configured in Azure, head over to Dynamics 365. Navigate to the ‘Settings’, click on ‘Security’, and select ‘Users’. Here, you can add a new user of type ‘Application User’. Fill in the required details, using the information from your Azure registration as needed.

Step 5: Assign Security Roles

Finally, assign the appropriate security roles to your application user. This will determine what data and functions your application can access. Without the correct roles, your application might face restrictions in accessing necessary data.
