How do I confirm the register app is in use and identify who are all the users accessing it?

Question

Hi,

During implementation various services app registration happens and sometime it is automatic with random names. when certificate renewal is needed it is really difficult to confirm which apps are currently in used and who is using it. Are there a tool to check the transactions and it per day usage etc...

Hi Ganesh Kumar Sivagurunathan (CIS)

Thank you for your question in Microsoft QnA!

Azure AD app activity can be tracked, you can get from Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) audit logs.

• On Azure portal nd navigate to the Azure AD service.
• Under the "Monitoring" section, click on "Sign-ins" or "Audit logs" to view the activity of your app registrations .

You can also query the Azure AD audit in Azure Monitor logs :

SigninLogs
| where AppDisplayName contains "YourAppName"

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your question here.

To understand your question, you will like to confirm the register app that is in use and identify who the users are accessing it. To add more clarification, I would like to know the authentication tool you used.

However, to access authentication method usage and insights:

Sign in to the Azure portal.

1. Click Azure Active Directory > Security > Authentication Methods > Activity.

Also, to confirm if the register app is in use and identify who are all the users accessing it, you can follow these steps:

Go to the Azure portal and sign in with your account.

Select Azure Active Directory from the left-hand menu.

Select App registrations under Manage.

Select the app you want to check.

Under Manage, select Activity.

1. You can see the list of users who have accessed the app.
