Create an App Registration in Entra ID

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

There may be some scenarios (such as Recover Your Company ) where you need to create an App Registration in Entra ID for use with Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud.

Important

Once you create an App Registration, it must be used within 72 hours; otherwise, it will be considered expired, and you will need to create a new one.

We use this process to verify you are an Application Administrator or a higher privilege user (such as a Global Admin), in the same Entra ID tenant as the PMPC Company being managed.

To create an App Registration:

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Azure portal using an account with the Global Admin role and navigate to the App Registrations blade.

Important

You must use an account in the same Microsoft 365 subscription (tenant) as your PMPC Company.

  1. Click New registration.

    Clicking “New registration”

    1. In the Name field, enter PMPC Recovery, then click Register.

    2. Make a note of the following values: • Application (client) ID • Object ID • Directory (tenant) ID

      Noting the required values

      Clicking “Grant admin consent for <your_tenant_name>”

    10. On the Grant admin consent confirmation popup, click Yes.

      Clicking “Yes” on the “Grant admin consent confirmation” popup

      The Grant consent - Grant consent successful notification is shown and the Status for the AuditLog.Read.All permission changes to a green tick.
