Permissions required for the Microsoft OneDrive connector

Overview

When you connect Code42 to Microsoft OneDrive, you grant certain permissions to Code42 in your Microsoft environment. This article lists the permissions Code42 requires as well as what those permissions allow Code42 to do in your Microsoft environment.

OneDrive permissions

For example, creating, modifying, sharing, renaming, moving, or deleting a file generates an event for that file. To see this file activity, Code42 requires access to your OneDrive environment. The OneDrive permissions we request are: 

  • Directory.Read.All
  • Files.Read.All
  • Files.ReadWrite.All
  • ActivityFeed.Read

This set of permissions gives Code42 the access to user information, file metadata, and drives needed to monitor file activity. This set includes manage and write permissions required for the Code42 data connection. However, Code42 is committed to data integrity and does not:

  • Back up files in cloud storage
