The problem is that those “id” names have nothing to do with what they’re pointing at.

“EnterpriseAppId” and “AppRegistationId” would make sense.

ObjectId is meaningless nonsense. Everything is an object! Everything has an Id! This tells you nothing specific.

Well, it kind of does. AppId points to an app registration. Object id points to an object. This can be an Enterprise App registration, but also a user object.

ClientId again is the id of the client, which does not have to be an app registration specifically.

I do agree it can be very confusing

That’s the clearest and most concise explanation I’ve heard after years of working with this stuff.

You should make a YouTube channel in the style of 3b1b.
