Setup guide

The Microsoft Dataverse API uses OAuth2 for authentication. We need a 'client_credentials' type, that we usually get by using an App Registration. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/data-platform/authenticate-oauth

The procedure to generate the credentials and setup the necessary permissions is well described in this post from Magnetism blog: https://blog.magnetismsolutions.com/blog/paulnieuwelaar/2021/9/21/setting-up-an-application-user-in-dynamics-365
