Connectors and Entra ID

Please note: Besides this, you will see that indexing into Microsoft Search makes an app registration necessary. Furthermore, crawling SharePoint Online, OneDrive or Entra ID also come with app registrations. However, we do not recommend to intertwine these app registrations with the Entra ID app registration, described here.
