           Client Secret: [Press “Generate New Password”]
        Redirect Uri: [URL of site]/appservices/saas/msgraph        
           
    d. Append “Sync Roles: true”, save the record, reselect, and push “ADD SYSTEM IDENTITY” if you desire to synchronize groups from your Azure AD or Office system.       
    e. Open the login form. The button “LOGIN WITH MICROSOFT” will now be visible.
