Microsoft Partner GDAP Credentials Setup for n8n

Setup for n8n

These credentials enable your n8n workflows to access Microsoft Partner Center and customer tenants through Granular Delegated Admin Privileges (GDAP).

Prerequisites

  • An existing Azure AD application with GDAP access configured
  • A Microsoft Partner Center account with active GDAP relationships to customer tenants

Locate Your App Registration

  1. Sign in to the Azure Portal using your partner tenant account
  2. Navigate to Azure Active Directory > App registrations
  3. Open the application that has GDAP access to your tenants

Required Credentials

Application (client) ID

Required

Found on your app registration’s Overview page. This GUID uniquely identifies your application.

  • Example: 08e936e1-e424-45f9-98d7-9c75ac92b4fd

Partner Tenant ID

Your partner organization’s Azure AD tenant ID (NOT the customer tenant ID). Found on the Azure Active Directory Overview page.

  • Example: 12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012

Client Secret

Required

The secret value from your app registration. If you need to create a new secret:

  1. Navigate to Certificates & secrets in your app registration
  2. Click New client secret and provide a description
  3. Copy the secret Value immediately—it’s only shown once

Secret ID (Optional)

The ID/GUID shown next to your secret in the Certificates & secrets page. Used for documentation purposes to track which secret you’re using.

  • Example: 6386f717-e944-43e2-b7c5-175d81cd0be4

Expiry Date (Optional)

The expiration date of your client secret. n8n will warn you 2 months before expiry to prevent authentication failures.

  • Found in the Expires column under Certificates & secrets

Troubleshooting

Authentication Failed: Verify that:

  • The client secret was copied correctly (no extra spaces)
  • The secret hasn’t expired
  • You’re using your partner tenant ID, not a customer tenant ID

Insufficient Permissions: Ensure that:

  • Your GDAP relationship with the customer includes the required security roles
  • The GDAP relationship is active and approved
