Create Azure Apps
2 minute read
Clicking the Create New App button opens a dialog. As Azure App Name Docusnap is suggested. This name can be customized as desired, but it must be ensured that the name is unique in the Azure environment. In the next text box, either the Azure directory name or the directory ID can be specified. If the dialog was opened as part of the inventory wizard, then the company that was selected in the wizard will be selected by default. If the dialog is opened in the administration, the company can be selected. Optionally a description can be added, for example which subscriptions belong to this app.
A device code is then generated by clicking on Create code.
Mit einem Klick auf Registrierung durchführen wird die Webseite geöffnet, in der der Gerätecode eingegeben werden muss. Nach dem Öffnen befindet sich der Gerätecode bereits in der Zwischenablage und kann mit Strg+V eingefügt werden. Anschließend bitte mit einem Benutzer mit der Rolle “Globaler Administrator” anmelden.
Once the Microsoft Azure CLI is confirmed, the Azure App is created. The browser can be closed. The dialog for creating the app is closed as soon as the app is available.
