Create a Service App and Grant Consent

For the backup and restore services of Azure DevOps, you must create a service app to connect to your tenant and grant consent for the permissions this app requests.

Before you begin

To create an app profile and grant consent, a Project Collection Administrator of the Azure DevOps organization account account is required, and your tenant must have previously created or connected to an organization in Azure DevOps. For details on how to add users to the Project Collection Administrator group, refer to the Microsoft article: Look up a project collection administrator.

Procedure

Follow the steps below to create the service app:

  1. On the Management > App management page, click Create on the action bar.
  2. In the Select services step, select IBM® Storage Protect for Cloud Azure VMs, Storage, and Entra ID.
  3. In the Choose setup method step, select Modern mode and click Next.
  4. In the Consent to apps step, click Consent next to the IBM Storage Protect for Cloud Azure VMs, Storage, and Entra ID DevOps.
  5. On the Microsoft 365 sign-in page, sign in with a Microsoft 365 Global Administrator account.
  6. On the Permissions required page, review the permissions required and click Accept to continue. For the API permissions that this app requests, refer to Default Permissions Granted to the Service App.
  7. The app profile you created will be displayed on the App management page, and the IBM Storage Protect for Cloud Azure VMs, Storage, and Entra ID DevOps app will be added to your Microsoft Entra admin center > enterprise applications.
