Azure AD and App Registrations

Azure Service accounts can be chosen from an Existing Account or created automatically on configuration. This gives greater control and provides the API access required by the VBAzure appliance. Organizations will likely prefer to set this themselves, and not let the application create. In order to use a preexisting account, an App Registration must be made in Azure Active Directory.  Help Center Link
