What is the effect on the End-User Portal once the toggle is activated?
Users will be redirected to use manual custom role creation while adding M365 backup. On the other hand, when the toggle is deactivated, users will be redirected to use the automated custom role creation while adding M365 backup.
What does manual custom role creation mean when adding the M365 backup?
It refers to the manual process of creating a role with minimum necessary permissions to perform backup tasks. The role is created by running the PowerShell script. In the manual flow, users must download and run the PowerShell script instead of letting Dropsuite run it. Please follow these steps to add M365 backup with manual custom role creation:
- Log in to the End-User portal
- Click the "+Add Backup" button on the Dashboard page.
- Click the "Sign in with Microsoft 365" button
- Input the M365 Global admin account accordingly
- Click the "Accept" button
- Once the consent is granted, the user will be redirected to the M365 AUTHORIZATION page. There are two steps in total.
- Step One - Create Backup Application - sub-applications are created in the user's tenant (may take a few seconds to complete)
- Step Two - Click the "Verify & Continue" button to complete the authorization. Please ensure you follow all three provided instructions for a successful result
- Download the PowerShell script by clicking the provided button
- Open your PowerShell command prompt, then run the script (point 2.1) until it is executed completely
- A brief FAQ section has been included to further assist you in understanding the flow
- Once authorization is successful, you will be redirected to the M365 account list page where you can start selecting mailboxes to backup.
