Configuration Overview

   DataBee Parameter	Azure Parameter
   Client Key	Application (client) ID
   Client Secret	Client Secret Value
   Token URL(<tenant_id>)	Directory (Tenant) ID

Azure Configuration

Create an application

1. Log on to Azure portal with an account that has the Global Administrator privileges.   

2. In the search bar, search for App registrations and select it.
     

3. On the “App registrations” page, select New registration, then “Register an application” window will appear. 
     

4. On the “Register an application” window, enter your application name in the Name field, then click Register to create the application. 
      

5. On the app Overview page, copy the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID for later use.  

Add Endpoint Access

Once the application is created, two permissions should be provided to fetch data. The appropriate permissions for the application are needed to access these endpoints. The following section details how to configure and add permissions to the required endpoints.   

Add Permissions

From the Azure Active Directory portal:   

1. Select the application registered in the previous step. 

2. Under Manage, click API permissions and then click Add a permission, the “Request API permissions” window will appear.  
     

3. On “Request API permissions” window, click on Microsoft APIs then on Microsoft Graph.
     

4. Click on Application permissions.
     

5. The following permission need to be granted for the endpoint to function properly: 

   Event	Type	Permission
   Role Members	Application	Directory.Read.All

   In the Select permissions search bar, enter the permission shown above, and check the box to include them.

   
   

6. Click the Add permissions button after selecting the required permission. 
     

7. On the “API permissions” page, click Grant admin consent for <tenant>.
    

8. Click the Yes button on the consent confirmation.  
    

9. The required permission is now added for the endpoints.  
    

Create the Client Secret

The final step in accessing the APIs is creating a Client Secret. To create it from the Azure Portal:   

1. Select the application created above. 

2. Under Manage, click Certificates & secrets, and then Client secrets.  
     

3. Click New client secret. Then “Add a client secret” window appears.  
     

4. On “Add a client secret” window: 

   • Enter a ‘Description’ for this client secret and select the desired expiry period from the ‘Expires’ drop-list. 

   • Then click on Add to create the client secret.
      

     Note:

     The user needs to re-create the client secret when it expires.

5. Copy the Value field to use it as Client Secret while configuring the Data Feed Auth Configurations.
    

DataBee Configuration

1. Login to the DataBee UI, navigate to Data > Data Feeds and click the Add New Data Feed button.
    

2. Search for the Microsoft Entra Role Members and click it as shown below.
    

3. Click on the API Ingest option for collection method
    

4. Enter feed contact information.
    

5. In the configuration page, enter the following: 

   • Authorization Method: OAuth2 

   • Client Key: Paste the Application (Client) ID generated earlier in the Azure portal. 

   • Client Secret: Paste the Client Secret value generated earlier in the Azure portal. 

   • Token URL: Replace <tenant_id> with your Directory (Tenant) ID.

   • Role Names: Comma separated list of directory roles for which members will be fetched.
      

6. Click Submit.

Troubleshooting Tips

• If you are facing an invalid client or unauthorized client error this might be possibly due to incorrect credentials. Ensure the client key, client secret and Tenant ID are pasted correctly. Since you cannot view the client secret after the 1st time, re-create it, paste it on a text editor to ensure no spaces or unexpected characters are included and reconfigure the DataBee feed. 

• If you are facing a 403-response code this might be possibly due to missing permission. Ensure that the required permission is granted correctly as per the above-mentioned steps. 

• Ensure that the requested directory role names are correctly entered and separated by commas.
