Before creating a **node template** in Rancher using a cloud infrastructure such as Azure, we must configure Rancher to allow the manipulation of resources in an Azure subscription.
To do this, we will first create a new Azure **service principal (SP)** in Azure **Active Directory (AD)**, which, in Azure, is an application user who has permission to manage Azure resources.
The following is a template `az cli` script that you have to run for creating an service principal, where you have to enter your SP name, role, and scope:
`az ad sp create-for-rbac --name="<Rancher ServicePrincipal name>" -- role="Contributor" --scopes="/subscriptions/<subscription Id>"`
The creation of this service principal returns three pieces of identification information, *The application ID, also called the client ID*, *The client secret*, and *The tenant ID*. This information will be used in the following section adding the **node template**.
1. Click **Add Node Template**. 1. Click **Add Node Template**.
2. Complete the **Azure Options** form. 2. Complete the **Azure Options** form.
