Business Central Access & Azure Application Setup Guide
How to integrate Business Central with your Limble account.
Overview
This guide walks you through the Business Central access and Azure application setup required to connect Business Central with Limble.
You will create an Azure application registration, collect the required credentials, grant Business Central permissions, and publish the Business Central web services required by the integration.
Table of Contents
1. Create a New Azure Application Registration
This application allows the Limble integration to authenticate with your Business Central API.
Open the Azure Portal: https://portal.azure.com/
Go to Microsoft Entra ID.
Select App registrations.
Click New registration.
Fill out the application registration fields as shown below.
Field | Value |
Name | Limble Business Central Integration |
Supported account types | Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant |
Redirect URI | Platform: Web |
Important: Multi-tenant support is required so the integration can function across customers with different Microsoft tenants.
Click Register to create the application.
2. Add Client Secret
After the app is registered, create a client secret for the integration to use during authentication.
Open the application you just created.
Go to Certificates & Secrets.
Click New client secret.
Add a description, such as Limble Integration Secret.
Choose an expiration. We recommend 12 or 24 months.
Click Add.
Critical: Copy the client secret Value immediately and store it somewhere secure. The Secret ID is not used for authentication.
3. Collect the Required Integration Values
You will need the following values when configuring the integration in Limble.
Where to find it | Value to collect |
Application Overview page | Application (client) ID |
Application Overview page | Directory (tenant) ID |

4. Assign API Permissions
The Azure application must be granted access to Business Central APIs.
In the Azure Portal, open the application.
Go to API permissions > Add a permission.
Select Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Add the following permissions:
Delegated permissions:
user_impersonationApplication permissions (if available in your tenant):
Financials.ReadWrite.All
Click Grant admin consent for your organization.
5. Assign App Access inside Business Central
After Azure permissions are configured, authorize the application within Business Central.
Open Business Central.
Search for Microsoft Entra Applications.
Find the app by its Client ID.
Grant it the permission set(s) needed for API access. At minimum, grant D365 Automation and Exten. Mgt. - Admin.
6. Retain These Credentials for Future Reference
You will need these values during the integration configuration step in Limble:
