Options: Office 365 configuration tab

Use the Office 365 configuration tab to configure an access to Office 365. This tab is only available if the Organization type is Office 365 or Hybrid.

You can choose between two sets of settings that allow Promodag Reports to access Office 365 resources:

Certificate-based authentication (recommended): The permissions are those that have been granted to a custom Enterprise application published in in Microsoft Entra ID. To create this standard Promodag Reports Application in Microsoft Entra ID and assign it the role it needs, see Certificate-based authentication to Office 365.
- Pros:
  - No specific user account and mailbox are required, which completely eliminates the problems of password expiration and MFA compatibility.
  - No Office 365 license is required.
- Cons: None.

User-based authentication: The permissions are those granted to the Promodag Office 365 account. For more information about the required permissions, see User-based authentication to Office 365.
- Pros: Permissions can be granted to the account in a more granular way.
- Cons:
  - An Office 365 license for a user and mailbox are required.
  - If the password regularly expires, it must be updated in this window.
  - This mode is incompatible with MFA.
