In this self-paced module, you learn how to use a service principal with a Microsoft Power Platform custom connector.
To define what a Microsoft Entra application is allowed to do in a Microsoft Azure tenant, you can create a security object known as a service principal (SPN). The system automatically adds the service principal when you configure a new application registration in Azure.
The definition of the access policy and permissions for the user and application are in the Microsoft Entra tenant. Therefore, the service principal carries core features, such as authentication of the user and application during sign-in and authorization during resource access.
When you register an application, Azure automatically creates a service principal of the Application type.
When you create a Microsoft Power Platform custom connector to access Microsoft Graph, Microsoft Azure CLI, or similar services, Azure requires that you have an application registration. Additionally, Azure copies the authentication details for the service principal in the connector security definition.
