## Introduction

The interface to communicate with Microsoft Azure AD is through the Microsoft Graph API.



## Getting the Azure AD graph API access



By using this connector you will have the ability to create an Azure AD User.



### Application Registration

The first step to connect to Graph API and make requests, is to register a new Azure Active Directory Application. The application is used to connect to the API and to manage permissions.



* Navigate to App Registrations in Azure, and select “New Registration” (Azure Portal > Azure Active Directory > App Registration > New Application Registration).

* Next, give the application a name. In this example we are using “HelloID PowerShell” as application name.

* Specify who can use this application (Accounts in this organizational directory only).

* Specify the Redirect URI. You can enter any url as a redirect URI value. In this example we used http://localhost because it doesn't have to resolve.

* Click the “Register” button to finally create your new application.



Some key items regarding the application are the Application ID (which is the Client ID), the Directory ID (which is the Tenant ID) and Client Secret.



### Configuring App Permissions

The [Microsoft Graph documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph) provides details on which permission are required for each permission type.



To assign your application the right permissions, navigate to Azure Portal > Azure Active Directory >App Registrations.

Select the application we created before, and select “API Permissions” or “View API Permissions”.

To assign a new permission to your application, click the “Add a permission” button.

From the “Request API Permissions” screen click “Microsoft Graph”.

For this connector the following permissions are used as Application permissions:

*	Read and Write all user’s full profiles by using User.ReadWrite.All

*	Read and Write all groups in an organization’s directory by using Group.ReadWrite.All

*	Read and Write data to an organization’s directory by using Directory.ReadWrite.All



Some high-privilege permissions can be set to admin-restricted and require an administrators consent to be granted.



To grant admin consent to our application press the “Grant admin consent for TENANT” button.



### Authentication and Authorization

There are multiple ways to authenticate to the Graph API with each has its own pros and cons, in this example we are using the Authorization Code grant type.



*	First we need to get the Client ID, go to the Azure Portal > Azure Active Directory > App Registrations.

*	Select your application and copy the Application (client) ID value.

*	After we have the Client ID we also have to create a Client Secret.

*	From the Azure Portal, go to Azure Active Directory > App Registrations.

*	Select the application we have created before, and select "Certificates and Secrets". 

*	Under “Client Secrets” click on the “New Client Secret” button to create a new secret.

*	Provide a logical name for your secret in the Description field, and select the expiration date for your secret.

*	It's IMPORTANT to copy the newly generated client secret, because you cannot see the value anymore after you close the page.

*	At least we need to get is the Tenant ID. This can be found in the Azure Portal by going to Azure Active Directory > Custom Domain Names, and then finding the .onmicrosoft.com domain.



## All-in-one PowerShell setup script
