Manage Azure app registrations from creation to approvals and permission changes. Stay in control of secrets and certificates with au2mator. Built for CIOs, IT leaders, team leads, and CISOs who need structured governance for app registrations and permissions at scale.
Azure (Entra ID) app registrations are created quickly and often for good reasons, such as integrations, automations, and service-to-service access. But over time, they tend to grow unmanaged across teams, projects, and environments. Without a clear process, ownership, and continuous oversight, organizations lose visibility and control, and security risks increase.
App registrations multiply across departments and projects until no one has a reliable overview.
Credentials expire silently, causing failed automations, broken integrations, and avoidable downtime.
Many app registrations have no clear owner, so changes, renewals, and clean-up tasks fall through the cracks.
Similar apps get registered multiple times, creating redundancy, confusion, and inconsistent configurations.
App registrations often receive broader permissions than needed, increasing the impact of misuse or compromise.
Lack of governance, documentation, and control makes app registrations difficult to secure, audit, and justify.
au2mator brings structure and governance to Azure app registrations by turning creation, changes, and oversight into a controlled end-to-end process. Instead of unmanaged growth and unclear ownership, every app registration follows defined steps with clear responsibility, documented decisions, and consistent security standards.
In this video, you will see how au2mator helps you govern Azure app registrations end to end. From structured requests and standardized creation to proactive monitoring of secrets and certificates, au2mator establishes clear ownership and reliable processes.
Powering automation for customers worldwide
View and manage all app registrations in one portal, then delegate tasks to the right owners with least-privilege access.
Receive early expiry notifications and enable app owners to renew secrets or certificates without unnecessary IT involvement.
Request, review, and grant permissions during creation or throughout the lifecycle, with approvals based on who is requesting.
Prevent outages by alerting owners or IT well in advance whenever a secret or certificate is approaching expiration.
Renew certificates or extend secrets before they expire using a guided process, either through IT or delegated to the app owner.
Regular checks compare granted permissions with what is truly used and recommend adjustments to reduce over-privilege.
Every action, from creation and permission changes to owner updates, is logged in the au2mator self-service portal for full traceability.
Usage is validated through Entra ID logs, and au2mator suggests disabling or deleting app registrations that are no longer used.
App registrations are often created once and never reviewed. au2mator periodically checks granted permissions, compares them to actual usage, and recommends adjustments to maintain least-privilege access.
In many organizations, app registrations are created quickly and without control, leading to duplicates, unused apps, and unclear purpose. au2mator helps you identify unused or redundant app registrations and supports structured cleanup.
When a secret or certificate expires, integrations fail and systems can go down. au2mator notifies the right people well in advance, so renewals happen early and outages are avoided.
CISOs finally get a practical way to approve new app registrations and their permissions. With defined approval workflows, every new app registration is reviewed, documented, and compliant before it goes live.
App owners can request new permissions and renew secrets or certificates directly, while governance stays in place. This reduces IT dependency and ensures changes are handled by the responsible person.
With the au2mator self-service portal, app registrations are created and managed through a structured process instead of ad hoc actions. IT can create new app registrations directly, or key users can request them in the portal including the authentication method (secret or certificate) and the required permissions. If approval is enabled, the request is reviewed first, and once approved the app registration is created with all relevant details documented from the start.
Throughout the lifecycle, au2mator continuously monitors secret and certificate expiration dates and alerts the right people early enough to renew before anything breaks. In addition, permissions are reviewed by comparing what is granted with what is actually used, helping you maintain least-privilege access and reduce unnecessary risk.
When an app registration is no longer needed, key users, IT, or the monitoring process can initiate the decommissioning. Roles and access are removed and the app registration can be disabled or deleted, ensuring that only actively used app registrations remain in your tenant.
au2mator combines proven, real-world governance experience with a practical platform designed for daily IT and security operations. Instead of introducing another point solution, you get a central self-service portal that structures Azure (Entra ID) app registrations from creation to permissions and approvals, through controlled changes, with clear ownership, built-in governance, and full traceability.
With established workflows for requests, CISO sign-offs, and ongoing management, au2mator helps you prevent app registration sprawl and keep processes audit-ready. Secrets and certificates are monitored and renewed in a controlled way, reducing outages and firefighting. The outcome is a consistent, secure approach that relieves IT while enforcing structure and compliance.
An app registration represents an application identity in Entra ID and defines how it authenticates and which permissions it can use to access Microsoft APIs and resources. Governance is critical because app registrations can hold powerful permissions, and without ownership, reviews, and clear processes they quickly become a security and compliance risk.
au2mator introduces a controlled, centralized way to request, create, update, and retire app registrations. This standardizes the process, assigns responsibility, and ensures app registrations are not created ad hoc or left unmanaged.
Yes. au2mator can implement approval workflows so security stakeholders, such as the CISO, can review and approve new app registrations and the requested permissions before anything is provisioned.
Permission management is integrated into the au2mator self-service portal. Requests, approvals, changes, and documentation are handled in one place, so the full lifecycle of an app registration is managed consistently and transparently.
au2mator continuously checks secrets and certificates for upcoming expiration and notifies the responsible owner or IT team well in advance. Renewals and extensions can then be executed through the au2mator self-service portal.
Yes. All activities and changes are tracked for traceability, and au2mator can also provide a managed service that monitors app registrations and their permissions to ensure they remain appropriate over time.
