Service Principal Management

Introduction

The first step in getting started with a Business Application in Turbo360 is to add a Service Principal.

Service Principal is an application within Azure Active Directory, which is authorized to access resources in Azure Stack.

Turbo360 uses the authentication tokens of the Service Principal to manage the resources.

Client secret expiry

• Turbo360 allows users to configure the same date as the Azure portal in order to notify users 7 days before the expiration date to change the Client secret.

• Users can change the Client secret expiry date when adding or editing a Service Principal during Service Principal management or Business Application management.

Add a Service Principal

Service principals can be added in two different ways depending on which access is completely different:

1. Navigate to Service principals and click Add.
2. Choose between Manage Azure Resources and Manage Power Automate Flows .options based on which the access will be provided.

Manage Azure Resources

3. Select Manage Azure Resources option.

4. Please enter a unique name to the Service Principal.

8. The next step is to configure the access policy for the authenticated Service Principal within the Business Applications module. You have two choices: either check the box next to the Subscription to grant full access to all resource groups, or check the Subscription box and define the scope by selecting the resource group filter, thereby restricting access solely to the Business Applications module.
