Overview
You can use this account type to connect Teams Snaps with data sources that use dynamic OAuth2 accounts.
Expression-enabled authentication fields, such as Username, Password, and Client Secret, support Secrets Management, a SnapLogic add-on that allows you to store endpoint credentials in a third-party secrets manager, such as AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, or HashiCorp Vault. During validation and execution, pipelines obtain the credentials directly from the secrets manager. Learn more: Configure Accounts to use secrets.
Prerequisites
A registered application in the Microsoft Azure Portal with appropriate permissions can be used to generate the Access token. See Application Configuration in Azure Portal for OAuth2 Account for the steps to duly configure a registered application and for information needed to define settings for the OAuth2 account.
Limitations and Known Issues

Access Token to perform actions on behalf of an application (client_credentials grant type). See Get access without a user in Microsoft Docs for more information.
Authorization Code to perform actions on behalf of a signed-in user (authorization_code grant type). See Get access on behalf of a user in Microsoft Docs for more information.
