The Simeon Cloud Web Admin service principal plays a crucial role in facilitating various operations for the Configuration Manager app:

  • Single sign-on: it is used for SSO to authenticate users into the app. 
  • Sending requests to Azure DevOps: it acts on behalf of the user to send requests to Azure DevOps when changes are made within the app. 
  • Baseline compliance: it is responsible for extracting the Baseline compliance report from the user's tenant and displaying it on the Report page.
