# Use the Express Configuration to Add Azure Apps

Applies to only managed cloud deployments

The express configuration uses Commvault Cloud hosted multi-tenant apps. These apps use Federated Identity Credentials (FIC) based authentication mechanism which do not need app secrets or certificates.

These multi-tenant apps provide a better security posture and is the recommended authentication method from Microsoft.

## Set DisableCustomAppAuthentication to False

- On the tenant, run the following SharePoint Online PowerShell command to set DisableCustomAppAuthentication to false:

      set-spotenant -DisableCustomAppAuthentication $false

   A Microsoft window displays all the permissions that are required to access the Azure app.

Note

Microsoft recommends adding single Azure app per SharePoint Online workload. You might consider adding more Azure apps to increase the throughput, but this might result in tenant-level throttling and impact the performance for end users in Microsoft 365 tenant. Do not add more than 5 Azure apps per SharePoint Online workload. For steps to add Azure apps, see Add Azure Apps to the SharePoint Online App.
