What happens when an app registration is restored
- Attributes and basic information restored
Attributes, basic information about the application (Essentials in the overview), and the data in the sections Branding & properties, Authentication, and App roles are restored. - Relationships reestablished
The following relationships are reestablished:- Owners - links to users who are owners of this app registration will be restored.
Note: A relationship can be reestablished only if the linked object still exists in Entra ID.
- Owners - links to users who are owners of this app registration will be restored.
- New ID and creation time
- If the app registration has been recently deleted (the app remains in a suspended state for 30 days), it will be restored with its original ID and original creation times (but deletion time property will change to null).
- If the app registration has been permanently deleted, it will be restored with new ID and creation times.
Limitations
Due to an API limitation, we do not back up or restore data in Certificates & secrets. After an app registration is restored, create the certificates and client secrets manually.
