Microsoft needs an app registration for Atlas. These settings belong to your Atlas account. Enter them here; you do not need to send credentials in chat.
- Open Microsoft Entra → App registrations and choose New registration. Name it CAT Atlas – Excel and select Personal Microsoft accounts only. If you already registered the app, use that registration.
- Choose the Web platform for the redirect URI and paste this exact address:Use the Web platform when registering this server connection.
Loading… - Under API permissions → Microsoft Graph → Delegated permissions, add
Files.Read,User.Readandoffline_access. Atlas asks to read files and keep its connection; it does not request file editing permission. Microsoft’s file permission covers your files, although this test reads only the workbook you choose. - Under Certificates & secrets, create a client secret. Copy its Value. From Overview, copy the Application (client) ID into the fields below. Personal account sign-in does not need a Directory (tenant) ID.
