Create a Microsoft Entra ID app

A Microsoft Entra ID app controls access levels for your Fabric APIs. Before you can make any API calls, you'll have to register a Microsoft Entra app. The Microsoft Entra app allows you to:

  • Establish an identity for your app

  • Let your app access the Microsoft Fabric APIs

  • Specify your app's Fabric REST API permissions

To create a Microsoft Entra app, you can follow the Quickstart: Register an application with the Microsoft identity platform. Alternatively, you can follow the simplified instructions in this article.

After registering a Microsoft Entra app, you can authenticate against it using either the Azure AD (v1.0; ADAL) or the Microsoft identity platform (v2.0; MSAL) endpoints. To learn more about how these authentication methods work, see Why update to Microsoft identity platform (v2.0)?
