Creating credentials

You'll be asked to provide source credentials that Sevco will use to connect to MS Azure.

OAuth2 with asset filtering

Use an existing MS Azure AD account with admin permissions authorized to grant permissions defined in the Required Permissions - OAuth2 with asset filtering section below.

Client ID/Secret with asset filtering

You'll be asked to provide a client secret that Sevco will use to connect to Microsoft Azure AD. This will require the creation of an application in Azure in order to provide API-based access. The following steps will walk you through creating a registered application and identify the necessary values to record for configuration.

NOTE: Ensure to input the App Secret Value, not the Secret ID when configuring the plugin. This value is only available upon first
