In the Introduction to CDF & Grafana course, the demo demonstrates how to create a client secret for training purposes by clicking the "Create Client Secret" button available on the training page. Since we have limited administrator access to the Cognite platform in the publicdata project, how do we create a client secret for Grafana in a real-world scenario?

Hey @andrelcalves ,

Grafana is great and wrote up a quick little how-to for this already:

Thanks @Ben Petree  I will definitely take a look at the how-to. However, I am unsure about how to create the client secret on the Cognite side.

@Ben Petree, my mistake. I realized that the client secret is created in Azure.
Thank you very much for your support.
