Azure consent

Last updated Consent Azure Microsoft Foundry

AI summary

To connect Azure to Rencore Governance, you create an Entra ID application in your tenant first, then provide consent by entering its Tenant ID, Client ID, and Client Secret. Unlike other connectors that create their application for you, Azure requires manual setup.

For Azure, you create the Entra ID app yourself in the tenant you want to scan, as described in Entra ID App Creation. Then you enter its details in Rencore Governance, as described on this page. Other connectors create their app for you when you give consent.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to create the Entra ID app myself before setting up Azure in Rencore Governance?

Yes. You must manually create the Entra ID application in your tenant first. Other connectors create their app for you when you give consent, but Azure requires you to do this yourself.

What credentials do I need to provide when giving Azure consent?

You need the Tenant ID (Directory ID from your Entra ID app), Client ID (application client ID), and Client Secret Value, which you should copy when creating the Entra ID app because it only displays once.

Where in Rencore Governance do I give consent for Azure?

In Settings, go to Environment Settings. In General Settings, click the ellipses menu and select Manage consent. Then click Give Consent on Azure.
