Register the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint application in the Microsoft
Azure portal and grant the read and write access to the application.

## Before you begin

Role required: Application developer, Tenant administrator.

## Procedure

1. Log in to the Microsoft Azure portal.
2. Enter <kbd class="ph userinput">App registrations</kbd> in the Search box, and click Click New registration.
3. Enter a name for your application and the redirect URI, and click Register.  
   An example name is <kbd class="ph userinput">Microsoft Defender for Endpoint</kbd>. The Redirect URI is used while providing admin consent for the application.
4. In the App registrations page, select the application that you registered in Step 3.
5. Under Manage, select Certificates \& secrets.
6. To create a client secret, select New client secret.
7. Copy the client secret and save it.  
   In case you forgot the client secret, you can generate a new client
   secret.
8. Navigate to ManageAPI Permissions.
9. Click Add a permission.
10. In the Request API permissions window, click the APIs my organization uses tab.
11. Search for and select WindowsDefenderATP.
12. In the WindowsDefenderATP permissions, select Application permissions.  
    Enabling this permission ensures that the application runs as a background service or daemon without a signed-in user.
13. Add the following application level permissions and grant admin consent for the newly added API permissions.
