Configuring Microsoft 365 tenant

• To add an new Microsoft 365 tenant, click the Add New Tenant button in the top-right corner of the O365 Tenant Settings page.
• Enter the Account Name and the Password of the Microsoft 365 tenant.
  • It is better to have an Microsoft 365 service account to configure in M365 Manager Plus. The service account must meet the following criteria:
    1. Global admin: Service account must have global admin permission so that all the reports and management tasks can be performed seamlessly. If the global admin permission could not be provided, the service account must have atleast View-Only Organization Management and Service Administrator permissions. Without global admin rights, the management functions pertaining to the assigned rights alone could be performed.
    2. No MFA and ADFS: Multi-factor authentication must not be enabled and for that service account and it should not be Federated account. Not meeting this criteria would affect background data fetching when tasks are scheduled. Some native modules also do not support MFA and ADFS
• Use the credentials of an administrator who is a member of the Microsoft 365 Global admin role. The account name should be entered in the format "account@company.onmicrosoft.com".
• Click Save to add the tenant.

Case 1 - Licenses purchased is greater than the number of users managed : In such a case, all existing users will be managed by the product. When new users are added, the product will automatically link the unused licenses with the new users.

Case 2 - Licenses purchased is lesser than the total number of users : In such a case, only the selected users will be managed by the product. When additional licenses are purchased, the unmanaged users will automatically be added to the managed users list based on availability of licenses.
