In this article, you'll learn how to create an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) application and service principal that can be used with the role-based access control. When you register a new application in Azure AD, a service principal is automatically created for the app registration. The service principal is the app's identity in the Azure AD tenant. Access to resources is restricted by the roles assigned to the service principal, giving you control over which resources can be accessed and at which level. For security reasons, it's always recommended to use service principals with automated tools rather than allowing them to sign in with a user identity.
