# Create an App Registration in Entra ID
*Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud*
There may be some scenarios (such as [Recover Your Company](/patch-my-pc-cloud/manage/manage-settings/company-settings/recover-company.md) ) where you need to create an App Registration in Entra ID for use with Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**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.
{% endhint %}
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](https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_AAD_RegisteredApps/ApplicationsListBlade) blade.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important**
You must use an account in the same Microsoft 365 subscription (tenant) as your PMPC Company.
{% endhint %}
2. Click **New registration**.
3. In the **Name** field, enter **PMPC Recovery**, then click **Register**.
4. Make a note of the following values:
1. **Application (client) ID**
2. **Object ID**
3. **Directory (tenant) ID**
5. Navigate to **Manage | API Permissions**.
6. Under the **Configured permissions** section, click **Add a permission**.
7. In the **Request API permissions** blade, click **Microsoft Graph**.
8. In the **Request API permissions** blade, click **Application permissions**.
9. In the **Select permissions** field, type **AuditLog**, then expand this section and check the **AuditLog.Read.All** permission checkbox.
10. Click **Add permissions**.
11. On the **API permissions** screen, under the **Configured permissions** section, click **Grant admin consent for <*****your\_tenant\_name*****>**.
12. On the **Grant admin consent confirmation** popup, click **Yes**.
The **Grant consent - Grant consent successful** notification is shown and the **Status** for the **AuditLog.Read.All** permission changes to a green tick.
13. Navigate to **Certificates and secrets**.
14. Under the **Client secrets** section, click **New client secret**.
15. In the **Add a client secret** panel, type **PMPC Recovery**, then click **Add**.
The new Client Secret appears along with the **Update application credentials - Successfully updated application PMPC Recovery credentials** notification.
16. Make a note of the **Value** of the **PMPC Recovery** client secret.
