Permissions for Teams Auditing

Auditor allows you to audit Microsoft 365 organizations that have established modern authentication as their identity management approach, including support for multi-factor authentication (MFA). To learn more about modern authentication, refer to the following Microsoft article: What is modern authentication.

In this scenario, Netwrix Auditor will access the cloud-based infrastructure via Microsoft Graph and other modern APIs, being authenticated through a pre-configured Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) application with appropriate access permissions. So, you should register an Microsoft Entra ID app and provide its settings to Auditor  when configuring a monitored item.

NOTE: In some scenarios multi-factor authentication cannot be enabled for Auditor  service account. If so, you will need to configure an account with basic authentication to access Microsoft Entra ID or Microsoft 365 tenant.
