If Dynamics 365 is hosted in a GCC High Cloud region, you must manually create an application user for each environment in Dynamics 365 that you want to back up. For other regions, you can use the Command Center to create an application user for each environment in Dynamics 365 that you want to back up.
Note
-
Disclaimer: This procedure is performed using the Microsoft Power Platform Admin (D365 Admin) portal. The application is subject to change without notice. Consult Microsoft documentation, for example, see Manage application users in the Power Platform admin center.
-
To create an Application User in an environment, the user should be a global administrator and should be added in the memberships of that environment

One Application User can only access one environment. For backing up multiple environments, you will need to create an Application User per environment.
