The users module allows you to sync the users that exist in Azure directly into your Defense.com account. Giving you the ability to quickly convert them to Defense.com users or respond to threats by disabling their Azure user without having to leave the Defense.com interface.

To enable the Users module, you'll need access to your Azure administration account via portal.azure.com and appropriate permissions (such as Global Administrator or Application Developer) to manage app registrations.

Locate your app registration client ID

  1. Log in to your Defense.com account and click Integrations in the navigation on the left-hand side.

  2. Locate the Microsoft 365 integration and click Microsoft 365 Dashboard.

  3. Now, head to Manage Integration in the top left-hand corner.

  4. Finally, copy the value stored in the Client ID field, as you'll need this to locate your application in the Azure control panel.

Enabling the permissions for your app registration

  1. Log in to portal.azure.com and navigate to Azure Active Directory or Microsoft Entra ID.

  2. Under the Manage menu on the left-hand side, click App registrations and locate your application using the Client ID you retrieved earlier.

  3. Under the Manage menu on the left-hand side, open API permissions.

  4. Click Add a permission.

  5. Select Microsoft Graph.

  6. Select Application permissions.

  7. Search for and enable User.ReadWrite.All, and User.RevokeSessions.All.

  8. Then, click Add permissions.

  9. After adding the permissions, back in the Configured permissions section, select Grant admin consent to grant the permissions to your app registration.

Enable the users module

  1. Log in to your Defense.com account and click Integrations in the navigation on the left-hand side.

  2. Locate the Microsoft 365 integration and click Microsoft 365 Dashboard.

  3. Now, head to Manage Integration in the top left-hand corner.

  4. Click the toggle under the Users module on the right-hand side to enable the module. Defense.com will then verify that the correct permissions have been enabled.

That's it! You've now enabled your Microsoft 365 Users module. 🎉
