Approve the CSP Portal application to access your tenancy & end clients.

What is this and why is it required?

CSP Portal requires access to the details of your clients in order discover and display the assigned users of licenses & verify license counts between the Dicker Data and Microsoft platforms. Without this we are unable to retrieve the subscription details for your clients and thus will be unable to properly sync licensing information from DickerData to your PSA.

We have found using PowerShell is the most reliable way to do this. You can read more here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/auth-cloudsolutionprovider

How to grant access

Open a PowerShell session as an administrator.

You may need to install the AzureAD Module first.

Install-module AzureAD

Once Installed, enter the following commands

Connect-AzureAd

$group = Get-AzureADGroup -Filter "displayName eq 'Adminagents'"

$sp = Get-AzureADServicePrincipal -Filter "appId eq '05304c38-3730-409c-a124-ecd8e3d2350b'"

Add-AzureADGroupMember -ObjectId $group.ObjectId -RefObjectId $sp.ObjectId

Upon completing this powershell script, it can take around 5 minutes to propagate the permission change.  You can click the “Test Connection” button on the left to test that the application has the correct access.
