Visio Client Credentials

Best Practice:Flexera recommends creating the Microsoft 365 Client Credentials integration to view your organization’s Office 365 Client Credentials, Dynamics 365 Client Credentials, Power BI Client Credentials, Project Client Credentials, and Visio Client Credentials license usage data. Any existing Office 365 Client Credentials, Dynamics 365 Client Credentials, Power BI Client Credentials, Project Client Credentials, and Visio Client Credentials integrations in SaaS Management will be superseded by this new Microsoft 365 Client Credentials integration. To deactivate an existing integration, refer to Avoiding Duplicate Microsoft 365 Client Credentials Licenses between SaaS Management and IT Asset Management.

Microsoft Visio is software used for drawing a variety of diagrams. These diagrams include flowcharts, org charts, building plans, floor plans, data flow diagrams, process flow diagrams, business process modeling, swimlane diagrams, 3D maps, and more.

Important:This Visio integration requires the authentication method OAuth2 with client credentials.

Data Anonymization

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 Visio Client Credentials 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 Visio Client Credentials 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 Visio Client Credentials 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 Visio Client Credentials with SaaS Management, submit a Support Case.

Integrating Visio Client Credentials with SaaS Management

To integrate Visio Client Credentials with SaaS Management, perform the following steps.
