#Create a Service App and Grant Consent

To use Microsoft Entra ID's backup and restore services, create a service app to connect to your tenant and grant the requested permissions.

Creating an app profile requires a Microsoft 365 Global Administrator account to consent.

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.

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 app will be added to your Microsoft Entra admin center > enterprise applications.
