Role |
Description |
Application Administrator |
To grant and authorize the application permission, the user must have Application Administrator access. For details, refer to Microsoft’s description of the Application Administrator. |
Note: Note the following:
• | Once the Authorization is completed and the integration tasks are executed successfully, the user role can be reduced to the Report Reader role. |
• | After Authorizing, changing the password, or revoking the user roles for the user used for authorizing will result in an integration task failure. |
OAuth2 with Authorize flow. For details, refer to the Microsoft OAuth2 authorization code flow documentation.
• | Username |
• | Password |
• | Include Guests (Optional) |
• | Domain Names (Optional) - If you provide multiple values, they should be comma separated. |
Note:Username and password are required only for authorizing the application permissions. These values are not stored in SaaS Management.
Data anonymization is the processing technique that removes or modifies identifiable information. Once the process is complete, data cannot be associated with a specific user. It helps protect private and sensitive data as well as private activities while maintaining its integrity.
When adding the Azure application, it is important to make sure that anonymized users are not imported from Office 365 into SaaS Management. You will need to access reports that provide information about your organization’s use of applications and services.
The following procedure is important as a prerequisite to ensure that anonymized user data is not imported when integrating Azure with SaaS Management.
To view reports with anonymized user data:
1. | Sign in to the Microsoft 365 Portal Admin Center. |
2. | In the menu, go to Settings > Org settings and click the Services link at the top. |
3. | Scroll down and click Reports. |
4. | In the window that is displayed, clear the Display concealed user, group, and site names in all reports box. |
5. | Proceed to Integrating Azure with SaaS Management. |
Note:Ensure that data anonymization is disabled in your Microsoft account. Otherwise, all activity data will end up in Suspicious SaaS Activities. For more information, see the Microsoft documentation regarding Showing Anonymous User Names. If anonymized user data has been imported after integrating Azure with SaaS Management, submit a Support Case.
Integrating Azure with SaaS Management
To integrate Azure with SaaS Management, perform the following steps.
To integrate Azure with SaaS Management:
1. | Add the Azure application in SaaS Management. Refer to Adding an Application. |
2. | To filter users based on domain, enter the appropriate domain name(s) in the Domain Names field of the Azure integration setup slideout. Domain names are not case sensitive. If you provide multiple domain values, they should be comma separated. If the Domain Names field is left empty, it will pull all the user domains. |
Note:If the User Principal Name (UPN) and mail values are not the same, the entered domain values will not display in the Email column of the Azure Users tab in SaaS Management.
3. | To filter the Azure user types that are pulled in from the HR Roster integration task, enter the appropriate value in the Include Guests field. |
Example 1: To retrieve Guest, Member, and null Azure user types, enter yes in the Include Guests field.
Example 2: To retrieve only Member and null Azure user types, do not enter a value in the Include Guests field.
The results for both examples display in the All SaaS Users (Organization > All SaaS Users) screen.
4. | In SaaS Management, click the Authorize link provided during the integration setup, which will redirect you to the Microsoft/Azure portal. |
5. | Enter your Application Administrator username and password to sign in. |
6. | Click Accept to authorize to provide access to the APIs for the Directory.Read.All permission in the account. |
Tip:Once the Application Discovery integration task has been enabled after 24 hours, you can add the discovered SSO enabled applications to your list of Managed SaaS Applications. For details, refer to Adding Discovered SSO Enabled Applications to Your List of Managed SaaS Applications.
