Privileges required to Connect to Office 365

  • 1.  Privileges required to Connect to Office 365

    Hi,
    we are about to set-up the Identity Manager Office 365 connector at a customer.

    In the IM Connector Guide the following is stated as a pre-req.: The administrator account that is used to acquire the Office 365 endpoint must have the Global Administrator role.

    Of course the customer is very reluctant to give out this very high privilege.

    A couple of questions:
    • Is it really true that the Global Administrator role is indeed required by the connector?
    • If yes to the above question is this privilege only required at the actual time when the endpoint is acquired or is it also requireed after-wards?
    • Has any-one used this connector and without granting the Global Administrator role to the service account running the connector?

    Regards
    Per
