# Getting started FAQs

## Overview

This article answers the most common questions from users who are new to Business Applications in Turbo360. It covers initial setup, service principal configuration, and first-time configuration tasks.

### Business value

Getting answers to common onboarding questions quickly reduces time to first value and helps teams avoid configuration mistakes that require rework later.

## How it works

This FAQ covers three areas: account and access setup, service principal configuration, and creating your first Business Application. Each answer references the relevant documentation for deeper guidance.

## FAQs

1. **What is a Business Application in Turbo360?** A Business Application is a logical grouping of Azure resources that you monitor and manage as a single unit. It lets you track health, configure monitoring rules, and trigger automated actions across all grouped resources from one place.
2. **What Azure permissions do I need to connect a subscription to Business Applications?** Your service principal requires at least **Reader** role on the Azure subscription or resource group you want to monitor. Some operations (such as running automated tasks) require **Contributor** role on the target resources. See [Service principal setup](https://docs.turbo360.com/docs/service-principal-setup-1) for the full permissions list.
3. **Can I add resources from multiple Azure subscriptions to one Business Application?** Yes. Business Applications support multi-subscription resource grouping. Each subscription must have a connected service principal with the appropriate permissions. See [Managing resources](https://docs.turbo360.com/docs/managing-resources) for steps to add resources across subscriptions.
4. **How many resources can I add to a single Business Application?** There is no per-Business Application resource limit. The only applicable limit is the total number of resources covered by your Turbo360 license for the module.
5. **What is the difference between a Business Application and a Business Application group?** A Business Application represents a single logical system (for example, an order processing pipeline). A Business Application group is a container that organises multiple Business Applications, useful when you want to apply shared settings or view aggregate health across related systems. See [Managing Business Application Groups](https://docs.turbo360.com/docs/managing-business-application-groups) for details.
6. **What happens if my service principal credentials expire?** Monitoring stops for all resources associated with that service principal, and the Business Application shows a connectivity error. Renew the credentials in Azure, then update the service principal in Turbo360 under **Settings > Service principals**.
