Step 2. Find the Azure tenant ID and client ID

To configure the Microsoft Teams tool, you need to get your tenant ID (directory ID) and client ID (application ID) from the Azure portal. These identifiers authenticate your application and enable secure access.

  1. 1Open the Azure portal.
  2. 2Search for and select Microsoft Entra ID.
  3. 3On the Entra ID Overview page, copy the Directory (tenant) ID.
Finding your client ID (application ID)
  1. 1In the Azure portal, go to Microsoft Entra ID > App registrations.
  2. 2Select an existing app or click New registration to create a new one.
  3. 3Select your app, and then click Overview.
  4. 4Copy the Application (client) ID from the Essentials section.
You will need both the tenant ID and client ID to configure the Microsoft Teams tool.

Step 3. Verify and add API permissions

  1. 1In the Azure portal, go to Microsoft Entra ID > App registrations, and select your application.
  2. 2From the left menu, under Manage, select API permissions.

  4. 4To add permissions, select Add a permission, choose Microsoft Graph, select Delegated permissions, find the permissions in the list, check the boxes, and select Add permissions.

Step 4. Enable authentication

  1. 1In your app registration's left menu, under Manage, select Authentication.
