Office 365 Management API credentials
An Entra ID application registration with **Client ID** and **Client Secret**. The application must have **Office 365 Management APIs - ActivityFeed.Read** permission and an active subscription to the **DLP.All** content type. You can reuse the same app as the Audit.General connector.
Connector instructions
Content published in the repository. Refer to the original file for all parameters.
1. Register an Entra ID Application
⚠️ If you already have an app from the Audit.General connector, you can **reuse the same app**. Otherwise:
1. Go to **Microsoft Entra ID** > **App registrations** > **New registration**
2. Name: `Sentinel-M365Audit` (or your preferred name)
3. **Supported account types**: Accounts in this organizational directory only
4. Click **Register**
5. Note the **Application (client) ID** - you'll need this later
6. Go to **Certificates & secrets** > **New client secret**
7. Add a description, set expiration, click **Add**
8. **Copy the secret Value immediately** - it won't be shown again
2. Configure API Permissions
⚠️ Audit.DLP requires **ActivityFeed.ReadDlp** permission (different from Audit.General which needs ActivityFeed.Read).
1. In your app registration, go to **API permissions** > **Add a permission**
2. Select **Office 365 Management APIs**
3. Choose **Application permissions**
4. Select **ActivityFeed.ReadDlp**
5. Click **Add permissions**
6. Click **Grant admin consent** for your tenant
7. Verify the permission shows as **Granted**
Note: If sharing the same app with Audit.General connector, add both ActivityFeed.Read and ActivityFeed.ReadDlp permissions.
3. Subscribe to DLP.All Content
[concat('Run this PowerShell script to subscribe to the DLP.All content type (required before data flows):
```powershell
# Replace with your values
$tenantId = ''YOUR_TENANT_ID''
$clientId = ''YOUR_CLIENT_ID''
$clientSecret = ''YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET''
$publisherId = $tenantId # Publisher identifier is your tenant ID
# Get OAuth token
$body = @{
grant_type = ''client_credentials''
client_id = $clientId
client_secret = $clientSecret
resource = ''https://manage.office.com''
}
$tokenResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri "', environment().authentication.loginEndpoint, '$tenantId/oauth2/token" -Body $body
$token = $tokenResponse.access_token
# Start subscription
$headers = @{Authorization = "Bearer $token"}
$subscribeUri = "https://manage.office.com/api/v1.0/$tenantId/activity/feed/subscriptions/start?contentType=DLP.All&PublisherIdentifier=$publisherId"
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri $subscribeUri -Headers $headers
```')]
4. Connect the Data Connector
Provide your Entra ID application credentials below. You can use the **same app credentials** as the Audit.General connector. The connector will automatically use your subscription's tenant ID for authentication and API calls.
