Configure Microsoft Azure connectors to scan Microsoft Azure resources for security issues using the Qualys Cloud Platform. Our Azure connector scans and detects virtual machines created using Resource Manager only.

Prerequisites

Before you create an Azure connector, ensure that you have the following permissions:

- Azure Active Directory permissions to register an application with your Azure Active Directory. Learn more.

- Azure Subscription permissions to assign the application to a role in your Azure subscription. Learn more.
