#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.

To create an app profile and grant consent, a Project Collection Administrator of the Azure DevOps organization 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 Look up a project collection administrator.

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 Cloud Backup for IaaS + PaaS.

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 Cloud Backup for Azure 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 Cloud Backup for Azure DevOps app will be added to your Microsoft Entra admin center > enterprise applications.
