unable to create quick access application in gsa

Hey Brian, it sounds like you’re hitting a snag when trying to spin up a Quick Access app in Global Secure Access (GSA). Let’s walk through the typical setup steps and key checks:

1. Verify you have a Private Network Connector and Connector Group
   • In the Entra admin center go to Global Secure Access → Connect → Connector groups
   • Make sure you have at least one active connector (min version 1.5.3417.0) in a connector group. Without an active connector, you can’t create Quick Access rules.
2. Configure Quick Access
   • In the Entra admin center go to Global Secure Access → Connect → Quick Access
   • Click Configure Quick Access (or New application if you haven’t created one yet) • For CIDR: choose CIDR, enter e.g. 10.1.1.0/24 and ports (e.g. 443). • For IP range: choose IP to IP, enter start/end IP and ports. • For FQDN: choose FQDN, enter the hostname and ports.
   • Click Apply (to validate) and then Save.
3. Check licensing and assignments
   • Private Access requires Azure AD (Entra) P1 plus a Private Access or Entra Suite license.
   • You need the Global Secure Access Administrator or Application Administrator role.
   • Make sure your account (or the target users/groups) is assigned to the Private Access traffic forwarding profile under Global Secure Access → Connect → Traffic forwarding.
4. Watch out for overlapping segments
   • Quick Access segments can’t overlap with other Quick Access or per-app segments (with the exception of Quick Access vs. Enterprise App overlap, where the Enterprise App takes priority).
   • You can have up to 500 segments total.

If you still can’t create or save your Quick Access configuration, could you share:

• The exact step/field where the failure or error appears (screenshots are super helpful)

• Whether your connector group shows an active connector

• Your Azure role and licence status on the tenant
