Hi,

Following the Metallic guide for SharePoint Custom Configuration where there are instructions for registration of the SharePoint App-Only principal. This approach is outdated and only used for specific cases, see this link for details: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/security-apponly


Now to my question - as we only use SharePoint Online only and the guide is from 2021, are we still required to register the SharePoint App-Only principal or will we be fine with the Azure AD App registration only?

Hi Adam,

Thanks for reaching out - you are not required to register the SharePoint App-Only principal as the Azure AD App should be more than sufficient.

Thanks,

Michael

Thanks.

 

Documentation and Commandcenter makes you think it is required. Nice it is not the case then. :)
