How to register an app in SharePoint

In this article, we are going to learn how to register an app/add-in in SharePoint online. If you have created a Sharepoint provider-hosted add-in or other SharePoint solution and to access the SharePoint site or list using the app/add-in you need to register the add-in on SharePoint and to grant permission.

Title: Name of the add-in which you want to give.
App Domain: Where your domain is hosted, for the local environment you can place             "www.localhost.com". Do not include HTTP or HTTPS in App Domain.
Redirect URL:  Insert the redirect URL, for the local environment put https://localhost.com.

4. You will redirect to another page where you will find all the details related to the add-in/app. Save the details for the future.


Grant permission to Add-in/App

     [Sitecollection URL]/_layouts/15/appinv.aspx
