Create Azure AD app for Modern Authentication

To connect Office 365/Exchange Online account of your organization using the Modern Authentication, you need to create an Azure Active Directory application, as described in the below section.

Step 1: Create and Register a new app in Azure AD

To register a new Azure AD application, do the following:

Step 1.1: Using the Administrator credentials, log in to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center and select the admin option. Select Identity from the list of accessible admin centers.

Step 1.2: Select App registrations from the expanded list of applications.

Step 1.3: Click on "New registration" on the App registrations page.

Step 1.4: Provide any name to the app registration entry. For supported account types, you need to choose the option based on your account. Then click the Register option.

Step 2: Grant Required API Permissions

Next, you need to grant your new application the required API permissions.

Azure AD applications can be assigned Delegated or Application permissions:

• Delegated permissions require a signed-in user present who consents to the permissions every time an API call is sent.
• Application permissions are consented by an administrator once granted.

For the newly created app, you should use Application permissions.

Do the following:

Add permissions

Step 2.1: In API Permissions, click Add a permission. At the top of the Request API permissions pane, click the ‘APIs my organization uses’ tab and search Office 365 Exchange Online.

Step 2.2: Click on the Office 365 Exchange Online entry in the list of apps found.

Step 2.3: Proceed with adding the permissions for this app: select Application permissions and then select full_access_as_app. And Exchange.ManageAsApp. Click Add permissions.

Step 2.4: Now, type MailboxSettings.Read and select the permission, then click Add permissions.

You require following permissions from two different categories in the Application permissions.

Once you have provided all the permissions to the application, then its status will be termed as ‘Granted.’

Do the following:

Step 2-A: Go to the new app settings > API permissions and click Grant admin consent for <tenant name>.

Step 2-B: When prompted to confirm granting, click Yes.

Step 3: Configure Client secrets

Having configured the app, you can create a Client secret.

Step 3.1: In the app settings, click Certificates & secrets and click New Client Secret.

Step 3.2: Enter the Description and select the expire period and click on add button.

Step 3.3: Copy the Client Secret value to a safe location.

Step 4: Obtain Tenant ID

Step 4.1: Select Azure Active Directory > Overview section for the required Exchange Online organization. Locate the Tenant ID and copy it to a safe location.

Step 5: Assign Administrator Role

To access multiple mailboxes, the Office 365 account needs the Global Administrator role.

Step 5.1: Type "roles and administrators" in the top search field, and then click the Microsoft Entra ID roles and administrators link that appears.

Step 5.2: Double-click on Global Administrator or Global Reader in the search results after typing Global Administrator or Global Reader into the text field.

Step 5.3: Click Add assignments.

Step 5.4: When the name of the registered app appears, type its name, and choose it from the list. The app will then receive the Global Administrator role after you click the Add button.
