    Onboard a Microsoft OneDrive App for Scans That Use the Microsoft Graph API

    Connect a Microsoft OneDrive instance to SSPM to detect posture risks.
    High-level configuration scanning across Office 365 products is available by onboarding the Office 365 app. Adding the Microsoft OneDrive app individually gives you greater visibility into Microsoft OneDrive settings.
    For SSPM to detect posture risks in your Microsoft OneDrive instance with more detail than the Office 365 app scan, you must onboard your Microsoft OneDrive instance to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM connects to a Microsoft API and, through the API, scans your Microsoft OneDrive instance for misconfigured settings. If there are misconfigured settings, SSPM suggests a remediation action based on best practices.
    There are two ways in which SSPM can scan your Microsoft OneDrive instance. The following instructions describe how to enable SSPM to use the Microsoft Graph API to perform its configuration scans. You can follow alternative instructions that enable SSPM to use data extraction techniques to perform its configuration scans. To onboard your Microsoft OneDrive instance, you complete the following actions:

    Collect Information for Connecting to Your Microsoft OneDrive Instance

    To access your Microsoft OneDrive instance, SSPM requires the following information, which you will specify during the onboarding process.
    ItemDescription
    Username
    The login email address for a Microsoft account. The account must not require multi-factor authentication (MFA).
    Required Permissions: The user must be assigned to one of the following roles.
    • OneDrive Administrator
    • Global Administrator
    Password
    The password for the Microsoft account.
    Client IDSSPM will access a Microsoft API through an Azure AD application that you create. During the onboarding process, SSPM prompts you for a Client ID that uniquely identifies the application.
    As you complete the following steps, make note of the values of the items described in the preceding table. You will need to enter these values during onboarding to access your Microsoft OneDrive instance from SSPM.
    1. Identify the Microsoft account that SSPM will use to access your Microsoft OneDrive instance.
      Account requirements:
      • The account must have OneDrive Administrator or Global Administrator permissions.
      • The account must not require MFA.
      After SSPM establishes the connection, it will perform an initial scan of your Microsoft OneDrive instance, and will then run scans at regular intervals of approximately 30 minutes. For SSPM to run these scans, the administrator account that you use to establish the initial connection must remain available. For this reason, we recommend that you use a dedicated service account to grant SSPM access. If you delete the service account, the scans will fail and you will need to onboard Microsoft OneDrive again.
    2. Register an Azure AD Client Application
      During onboarding, SSPM will access a Microsoft API through an Azure AD client application that you create. Follow the instructions to register a an Azure AD client application, and note the Client ID that Azure AD generates for the client app.
      If you have already onboarded another Microsoft application that requires an Azure AD client application, you can use that same Azure AD client app to onboard Microsoft OneDrive. If necessary, ask the administrator who registered the Azure AD client app for its Client ID.
      Do not continue to the next step unless you have obtained the Client ID. You will provide this information to SSPM during the onboarding process.

    Enable Required Enterprise Applications

    To complete its scans, SSPM also requires the Microsoft Graph Command Line Tools and the PnP Management Shell enterprise applications.
    1. As a Global Administrator, log in to the the Azure portal and navigate to the Enterprise applications page. To quickly navigate to this page, enter Enterprise applications in the search field at the top of the page.
    2. Enable Microsoft Graph Command Line Tools and PnP Management Shell for user sign in. Complete the following steps for both of these enterprise applications.
      1. On the Enterprise applications page, use the search box to quickly locate the Microsoft Graph Command Line Tools or PnP Management Shell application.
        If the Enterprise applications page does not list these applications, you will need to install them by using PowerShell. PowerShell is included with all supported versions of Microsoft Windows, but if you are using the macOS operating system, you will need to install PowerShell on macOS.
        1. Open PowerShell. If you are using Microsoft Windows, use the search bar to locate the PowerShell application and Run as Administrator. If you are using macOS, open the command terminal and run the pwsh command.
        2. Enter the following commands in PowerShell to install the Microsoft.Graph.Authentication and PnP.PowerShell modules.
          Install-Module Microsoft.Graph.Authentication -Scope CurrentUser -RequiredVersion 2.18.0 -Force -Verbose

Install-Module PnP.PowerShell -RequiredVersion 1.12.0 -Force -Verbose
        3. On Windows only: Enter the following command to set the PowerShell execution policies for subsequent commands. This command prevents PowerShell from blocking commands and scripts. This block prevention will be in effect only for the current PowerShell session. If you are using the macOS operating system, you do not need to enter this command.
          Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
        4. Enter the following commands in PowerShell to access Microsoft Graph and the PnP Management Shell.
          Connect-MgGraph -Scope "Sites.Read.All","Domain.Read.All","openid","profile","ReportSettings.Read.All","OrgSettings-AppsAndServices.Read.All","OrgSettings-DynamicsVoice.Read.All","OrgSettings-Forms.Read.All","Application.Read.All";


Register-PnPManagementShellAccess
          After you issue the preceding commands, the Enterprise applications page will list the Microsoft Graph Command Line Tools and the PnP Management Shell application.
      2. Click the application name and, from the left navigation pane, navigate to its Properties.
      3. Set the Enabled for users to sign-in property and the Assignment required property to Yes.
      4. Save your changes.
      5. Make sure you have completed the preceding steps for both Microsoft Graph Command Line Tools and PnP Management Shell.

    Connect SSPM to Your Microsoft OneDrive Instance

    By adding a Microsoft OneDrive app in SSPM, you enable SSPM to connect to your Microsoft OneDrive instance.
    1. From the Add Application page (Posture SecurityApplicationsAdd Application ), click the Microsoft OneDrive Powershell tile.
    2. Under posture security instances, Add Instance or, if there is already an instance configured, Add New instance.
    3. Log in with Credentials.
    4. When prompted, provide SSPM with the Microsoft user credentials and the Client ID of the Azure AD application.
    5. Connect.
