Configuring an administrator account for Data Insight
Data Insight uses a SharePoint administrator account to discover the site collections, scan metadata, and fetch the access events from the configured SharePoint Online account. This account must have full control over the site collections that you want Data Insight to monitor. You must configure the SharePoint administrator on the Office 365 interface, and then assign the administrative privileges for the target site collections.
Note:
Data Insight expects you to procure separate add-on cloud license to monitor cloud storage resources. It disables addition of cloud storage sources if you do not have a valid base and cloud license or if your license has expired.
To add a SharePoint administrator
- Log on to Office 365 using the Global admin credentials.
- On the SharePoint admin center page, click the app launcher icon on the top left corner.
- On clicking the Windows icon, a list of applications is exposed. Select Admin from the panel.
- In the Users tile, click Add a User. The New User pop-up windows opens.
- Enter the name of the user and other properties as appropriate.
- In the Roles section, select Customized administrator > SharePoint administrator.
- Click Add.
The SharePoint administrator account collects metadata about site collection content, and gathers audit data from SQL Server databases for SharePoint when it is assigned administrative privileges for the target site collections. It must also have full control permissions on the configured site collections and the site collections that are incrementally included to the SharePoint account.
To configure administrative privileges on site collections
- On the SharePoint admin center page, select the site collection URL that you want Data Insight to monitor.
- Click Owners > Manage Administrators.
The manage administrators pop-up window opens.
- In the Site Collection Administrators field, specify the administrator account which must have the administrator privileges on the selected site collections. You can specify multiple user accounts separated by a comma.
- Click OK.
