C1 provides identity governance for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Integrate your Business Central environment with C1 for unified visibility and governance over who can access Business Central and which permission sets they hold.

​
Capabilities

The connector syncs Business Central users (with display name, sign-in name, contact email, and enabled/disabled state), permission sets as roles, companies, and security groups. Both direct user permission-set assignments and security-group memberships are synced as grants, with permission sets assigned to a security group expanded to its members so you can run access reviews over effective Business Central access.

​
Gather Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central credentials

The connector authenticates to the Business Central Automation API using OAuth 2.0 with a Microsoft Entra ID app registration (client credentials flow).
You need permission to register an application in Microsoft Entra ID and to grant it admin consent for Business Central API permissions.
1
In the Microsoft Entra admin center, register a new application under Identity > Applications > App registrations.
2
Under API permissions, add the Dynamics 365 Business Central application permission API.ReadWrite.All, then grant admin consent for your tenant.
3
Under Certificates & secrets, create a new client secret and copy its value.
4
In the Business Central admin center, grant the registered application access as a Microsoft Entra application with the appropriate permission sets.
5
Copy the following values to configure the connector:
  • The Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID from the app registration overview.
  • The client secret value.
  • Your Business Central environment name (for example Production).
