Prerequisites

  • Cannot consent to app permissions on behalf of the tenant

  • Cannot approve admin consent flows during the integration process

  • Doesn't have access to Security and Compliance configuration on Azure/Microsoft services (e.g. audit logs, log ins, etc.)

FAQs

What prerequisites are needed to connect Office 365 to Secfix?

You need a minimum Microsoft 365 Business Standard + Azure AD Premium P1 and Super Admin access to your company's Office 365 account.

What data does Secfix read once I connect to Office 365?

Secfix will read employee data such as start date, end date, employee name, MFA status on employee emails, and more. You can check the full list of data read by Secfix by clicking on Connect.

I connected to Office 365 and got logged out of Secfix. Why did this happen?

If you are not a Super Admin but a delegated admin on Office 365, Secfix uses the "is super admin" status from the Office 365 account. If the account is a Super Admin, Admin access is granted to Secfix. If you are not a Super Admin, you will be automatically logged out and assigned employee access to Secfix. Ensure that a Super Admin connects to Secfix to avoid this issue.
