Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 • Restore portal - Entra Application

Hello

when setting the restore portal for M365 it needs an Microsoft Entra application - as stated in this one: post500677.html?hilit=m365%20azure%20re ... al#p500677
you can just use a free one.

However I wonder what it is used for exactly as for our own org we would not use anything to authenticate or allow customers to authenticate via our azure/entra org.
The documentation states: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo36 ... tml?ver=80

Important
Microsoft Entra application that end users and restore operators from tenant organizations will use to access Restore Portal must be created for a Microsoft 365 organization on a service provider side.

My logic would say that the authentication should be on the customers Azure org. and not ours.
I cannot see in the documentation what it actually needs this for.
