Protocol used by Azure app for authentication

The app is a native Microsoft deployment and uses OAuth2 as documented here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/overview-authentication-authorization

Option for Private Customer App

In the event that a customer is unhappy with the permissions above, AGAT offers an option for the customer to create the SphereShield app in their own tenant. This means that AGAT won’t have any permissions to the customer tenant, but the customer will be the owner of the app with the permissions required.

The registration process will be the same but requires changing the app ID to the new one and browsing the new URL. Permissions then need to be granted.
