Use the same Auth Token for multiple apps

Hi We have 2 apps registered on Azure AD, one gives access to Office 365 stuff and the other is Business Central. In a 3rd party application I am able to log in via either of these 2 apps, but if I log in via the Business Central one I don't have access to Office 365 APIs and if I log in with the other one I can't query the BC Sandbox. Is it possible to log in via one app, store the Auth Token (which we do anyway) and then use this Auth Token to sign into the other app? So that the user doesn't need to log in twice? Whats the best way to go about this?

    Hello @Lee McArthur , thank you for reaching out. This is not possible as the access-tokens issued for a specific resource for which the request has been sent. Hence access-tokens are always app-specific. From a single app, if you want to access different apps, then from your app you need to send a separate request for each of the other two apps (Office 365 and Business Central) and fetch two separate access-tokens and use them separately to gain access to those apps.

    Hope this helps.
