In this article, you will learn to create an app in Azure, connect it to your Synapse Workspace and then load it in Exmon.
In the Azure Portal, we need to create an App registration which we will use to access our Synapse Workspace. This is done under the Azure Portal -> Azure Active Directory -> App Registration

Go to the Azure Portal

Open App Registrations

Select New Registrations

- In the left panel, click Certificates & Secrets
- Then select New Client Secret
- Add the description Exmon Connection and click Add at the bottom of the window

Add app to Synapse Workspace
