Note

In order to do the CDS (Common Data Service)/Dynamics setup, you need to have an admin account.

Note

The service account used for integration must have the ‘System administrator’ or ‘System Customizer’ role in Dynamics 365.

Make sure that an Admin account can grant the admin consent for the API permission. Once it is granted, the API permissions should each have the status Granted for [organization name].

  1. Go to https://portal.azure.com. An Admin account is required to approve API access.

    This is the user-facing display name for this application, and can be changed at any time.
