Setup in Business Central

After installing DYCE API Connector for Dataverse from AppSource, complete the following setup steps in your Business Central environment.

Microsoft Entra Application Setup​

  1. Navigate to Microsoft Entra Applications
    • Use the search function in Business Central (Alt+Q)
    • Search for "Microsoft Entra applications"
  2. Create New Application Entry
    • Click the + New button
    • Enter the Client ID from your Entra App Registration created for Business Central
    • Add a meaningful Description (e.g., "DYCE API Connector for Dataverse Integration")
  3. Grant Consent
    • Click the consent button to authorize the application
    • Note: You must have administrative rights to grant consent.
    • You will be redirected to Microsoft's consent page
    • Sign in with your Microsoft account and approve the permissions
    • Confirm successful authentication
  4. Enable the Application
    • Change the State field from Disabled to Enabled
    • This activation creates a system user for the integration

User Permission Sets​

The Microsoft Entra application requires specific permission sets to access the necessary API pages:

  1. Navigate to User Permission Sets
    • Open the Microsoft Entra application record
    • Access the User Permission Sets section
  2. Assign Required Permissions
    • Add DYCE ACD Entra User permission set (provides access to API Connector for Dataverse-specific API pages)
    • Add D365 BASIC permission set (provides standard Business Central access)

These permission sets ensure the integration can read and write data through the API pages while maintaining security boundaries.
