# Register Lexis® Create DMS and create Service Principal for SharePoint

## Step by step guide to set up Service Principal

1. Go to [https://portal.azure.com/](https://portal.azure.com/) and click on "***new registration***" on the top left.
   
   ![](https://help.henchman.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Picture%201-png-1.png?width=670&height=351&name=Picture%201-png-1.png)

 

2. Complete the following information: 

- **Name**: we suggest "Lexis® Create DMS", but you can choose what's convenient for you. 
- **Support account types**: "*Accounts in this organizational directory only*" (first option) 
- **Redirect URL**: leave empty

Click “**register**” to complete![](https://help.henchman.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Picture%202--png.png?width=670&height=352&name=Picture%202--png.png)

3. **Add permissions **

- Go to *API Permissions*
- Click  "*Add a permission*" on the left
- Select "*Microsoft graph API*" with the option "***Application** permissions*"
- Search for the permission "*Sites.Read.All*".  
    - Alternatively, choose *"Sites.Selected"*. As explained in the [database review article](https://help.henchman.io/home/database-review-decide-on-what-to-synchronize-sharepoint-service-principal?hsLang=en), if the *Sites.Selected* permission is used, Lexis® Create DMS team needs to know the Site ID and Web ID of the Sharepoint Site. Please sent this information to your CSM.  
      ❗️Be sure to also **grant permissions** to the service principal for the relevant sites as specified in [this microsoft blogpost.](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/microsoft365dev/controlling-app-access-on-specific-sharepoint-site-collections/) Assigning permissions to a service principal is not possible through the Azure UI, only through REST API calls.
- Select this one and click *Add Permissions![](https://help.henchman.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Picture%204-png-1.png?width=670&height=352&name=Picture%204-png-1.png)*
- Once this happened, click "*Grant admin consent for {name}*" on the permissions page
