CREATE APPICATION USER FOR DYNAMICS 365

In Dynamics 365, you can create an unlicensed user in your environment, it is called Application user.

This type of user will have access to the data of your environment on behalf of the user who is using your application.

However, each Azure Active Directory registered application, you can only create one application user.

Previously, we were able to create this type of users from the Users area under the Settings > Security menu. Currently, it is done through the Power Platform Admin center
