Nodinite make use of an App Registration to connect and authenticate with the Azure REST-Api. Please read more about this concept in the Azure Application Access user guide.

For your business and other end-users; Delegate the power to manage, and gain insights to selected App Registrations in Azure. Nodinite Monitoring aids the support and maintenance team's people in having additional data for root cause analysis without having individual direct access to the Microsoft Azure Portal. Reducing access limits the number of attack vectors, and having fewer people with fewer access rights minimizes the risk of disruption of mission-critical services.
