Hi, I work for conglomerate that own many smaller companies worldwide. Each company has access to shared Azure resources. Many of our companies have created Azure apps. Now, when conglomerate IT manager goes to "App registrations" page he sees apps of every company on "All applications" tab. Its a mess. We are trying to agree on naming convention to so that we could see which app belong to who. The problem is that users who sign into the app also see the ugly name. We don't want users seeing app names like "MLG-LDN-ComplianceTool" even though it might help us to categorise things.
How can we organise Azure apps better? Are there tags or catalogs or anything like that so it looks better on Azure admin page?

There isn't a way to add tags to app registrations specifically. As you observed, you can manually set their names to the same format, or you can add the similar types of apps to the same security group.
If you have a Premium P1 or P2 license you can also set up Collections on the My Apps portal to organize your applications.
If you'd like, I would be happy to share your insights as product feedback to the engineering team to push this feature forward.
Feel free to share this with engineering. For now we will just name apps in agreed convention to organize them. Just a shame that users have to see that messy name too instead of nice app name.
Thanks for the feedback. I shared this with the engineering team and agree that this is a good idea!
I can see that there is new permission
microsoft.directory/applications/tag/update=>Update tags of applications.
May be this is something under development ?

It looks like there are tags in the manifest file. These can be used, right?
This page talks about tags too
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/reference-app-manifest#tags-attribute
@Marilee Turscak-MSFT still no answer? As @Tom Harren pointed out, the manifest has a tags field. Are we not able to add tags even by CLI?
