      Connecting Microsoft M365

      Prelude integrates with multiple Microsoft use-cases/products. You can configure a single Microsoft App registration for all Microsoft integrations here, or continue below for use-case specific integration instructions.

      To attach a Microsoft Office M365 account to Detect, you will need:

      • The Prelude Dashboard / UI (US1 | EU1) or Prelude CLI
      • An Azure user with Global Administrator role
      In Azure

      Create an App Registration

      1. Navigate to the App registrations section in the Azure Portal.
      2. Select "+ New registration" toward the top of the page.
      3. Enter a name for your application
      4. Choose Single tenant as the supported account type (Accounts in this organizational directory only). Click Register.
      5. Leave Redirect URI (optional) as it is.
      6. After registration:
        1. Note down the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID from the app's Overview page.
      7. In the left menu, expand the Manage section and select Certificates & secrets and create a new Client Secret:
        1. Click New client secret, enter a description, and set an expiration period.
        2. Note down the generated Client Secret Value (you won’t be able to view it later).

      we now have:

      • APP ID (Application (client) ID) from step 6
      • TENANT ID (Directory (tenant) ID) from step 6
      • APP SECRET (Client Secret Value) from step 7

      Granting API Permissions

      1. In the left menu of the app you created, select API permissions and click Add a permission
      2. Under "APIs my organization uses" search for: "Office 365 Exchange Online" select "Office 365 Exchange Online"
      3. Select Application permissions (not Delegated) and add the following API Permissions.
      • Exchange.ManageAsApp

      After adding the above permissions ensure you select "Grant admin consent for " as show in the screenshot below

      Granting Security Reader role

      1. Navigate to Entra ID in the Azure portal
      2. Expand Manage and select "Roles and Administrators" on the left hand side
      3. Search for the "Security Reader" role and click on it
      4. On the next screen, select Add Assignment

      5. In the "Search" field, enter the whole App ID (it often won't match partial App IDs, only Partial names/groups) and assign it to the Security Reader role:
