# STEP 2: Retrieve authorization code (o365-audit-logs)

In this step you will use the information gathered in step 1 to retrieve an authorization code, required to complete the next step.

**To retrieve an authorization code:**

1. Copy and paste the following URL in the notepad:

```plaintext
https://login.microsoftonline.com/YOUR_TENANT_ID/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://localhost:5110&response_mode=query&scope=offline_access%20https://manage.office.com/ActivityFeed.Read
```
2. Now, replace the **{YOUR_TENANT_ID} and {YOUR_CLIENT_ID}** value in the URL with the values you saved in the previous step.
3. Open a new tab in the same browser used to log into Azure, paste the URL into the address bar, and hit **ENTER**. You’ll now see an error message and the URL in the address bar will change.

📘Note

The updated URL will now include your **authorization code**. The code is the string appearing between the `code=` and `&`.
4. Copy the updated URL from the address bar and paste it into your notepad.
