Before your users can access an application, they first need to be assigned to it. Until you assign your users to an application, they will not be able to access it via the application URL, nor will they be able to access the application via the user access URL. As a matter of fact, users will not even see the application appear on the application access panel nor on their mobile application. It also won't appear on their Office 365 application launcher.
It's essentially like the application doesn't even exist as far as your users are concerned. As such, this demo will explain how to add users and groups to applications. There are three ways you can do this with Azure Active Directory. You can assign a user directly to an application, you can assign a group directly to an application or you can enable self-service application access to allow users to find their own applications.
