Use the Express configuration to create an Azure app for Azure Cosmos DB for Table

To back up Azure database resources, you must authorize the Commvault MultiTenant app in your Azure tenant. The user who signs in must have sufficient permissions to authorize the MultiTenant app and must be assigned the required Azure roles for the database resources that you want to protect.

Before You Begin

• If you are an MSP and you want your tenant administrators to create the Azure app, see MSP configuration for Azure.

• To back up the Azure database accounts, you must authorize the Commvault Cloud MultiTenant app on your tenant. The user signing in must have permission to authorize the MultiTenant app and must be a member of Project Collection Administrators (PCA) group for the Azure database accounts to be backed up.

  To check the permissions to authorize the app, do the following:

  1. Login to Microsoft Entra admin center.

  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > Consent and permissions > User consent settings.

  3. Ensure the user signing in has the necessary permissions to authorize the Commvault Cloud MultiTenant app. If not, contact your administrator to grant the required permissions.

  4. Login to Azure.

  5. Browse to Organization Settings > General > Users.

  6. Ensure the user signing in is part of the users list. If not, add the user to the list.

  7. Browse to Organization Settings > Security > Permissions > Project Collection Administrators > Members.

  8. Ensure the user signing in is a member of the group. If not, add the user to the group.
