In order to allow an application to integrate with and delegate Identity and Access Management functions to Azure AD, it must be registered with an Azure AD [tenant](#tenant). When you register your application with Azure AD, you're providing an identity configuration for your application, allowing it to integrate with Azure AD and use features like:

A type of [client application](#client-application) that downloads code from a web server and executes within a user-agent (for instance, a web browser), such as a single-page application (SPA). Since all code is executed on a device, it is considered a "public" client due to its inability to store credentials privately/confidentially. For more information, see [OAuth 2.0 client types and profiles][OAuth2-Client-Types].

## User principal

Similar to the way a service principal object is used to represent an application instance, a user principal object is another type of security principal, which represents a user. The Microsoft Graph [User resource type][Graph-User-Resource] defines the schema for a user object, including user-related properties like first and last name, user principal name, directory role membership, etc. This provides the user identity configuration for Azure AD to establish a user principal at run-time. The user principal is used to represent an authenticated user for Single Sign-On, recording [consent](#consent) delegation, making access control decisions, etc.
