A connection is how you grant SkySync DryvIQ access to the content in your Microsoft Office 365 account. You will provide the connection information required for SkySync DryvIQ to connect to the platform/server. This grants SkySync DryvIQ access to the account so it can scan and analyze the content based on the policies you create.

Verify you are on the Connections tab.
Select Add connection.
Select Microsoft Office 365 as the platform on the Add connection modal.
Enter the connection information. See Connection Authentication Options below for details about each field.
Select Sign in with Microsoft Office 365.
Enter the email for the account being used to create the connection and click Next.
Enter the password for the account and select Sign in.
You will see a "Connection test succeeded" message on the Add connection modal. (If you don't see this message, repeat the sign in and authorization steps above. If the connection fails, verify the URL.

Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
Display as | Enter the display name for the connection. If you will be creating multiple connections, ensure the name readily identifies the connection. The name displays in the application, and you can use it to search for the connection and filter lists. If you do not add a display name, the connection will automatically be named using the URL. For example, Microsoft Office 365 (https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/). If it will be useful for you to reference the connection by account, you should use the default name. | Optional |
URL | Enter the URL of your Office 365 account. You can find the URL by logging into Microsoft Office 365 using the account you want to use to create the connection. The URL in the address bar is the URL you need to use. It will look something like "https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx?view=14," where mycompany will be the site name of your company. You can copy and paste the full URL or only the part before layouts "layouts" (https://mycompany-my.sharepoint.com/). SkySync DryvIQ will ignore the extra part of the URL in most cases. ⚠ If the connection fails, verify the URL. SkySync DryvIQ cannot create the connection if the URL is incorrect. | Required |
Token endpoint | This setting is rare for most Microsoft connections and can be left blank. If needed, this value will be provided by your administrator. | Optional |
Graph API endpoint | This setting is rare for most Microsoft connections and can be left blank. If needed, this value will be provided by your administrator. | Optional |
Set Tenant Level Connection | This indicates if the connection should be set at the tenant level. The default value is No, so the connection will be set based on the URL provided. If you select Yes, the connection will override the URL provided and connect to {tenant}-admin.sharepoint.com. | Optional |
