Set Up SharePoint Online as a Target

To add a SharePoint Online Target:

  1. From the New Scan page, Add Targets.
  2. In the Select Target Type dialog box, select Microsoft 365 > SharePoint Online.

  3. Fill in the following fields:
    Dialog box to configure the path, credentials, and proxy agent for a SharePoint Online Target

    Field Description
    SharePoint Online Domain Enter your SharePoint Online organization name.
    For example, if you access SharePoint Online at https://mycompany.sharepoint.com, enter mycompany.
    New Credential Label Enter a descriptive label for the credential set.
    New Username Enter a SharePoint Online user's email address.
    User must have Read permissions to the top-level root site collection, and minimum Read permissions to all site collections, sites and lists to be scanned.
    New Password Enter the password for the SharePoint Online user.
    Agent to act as proxy host Select a Proxy Agent.
    Recommended Least Privilege User Approach

    To reduce the risk of data loss or privileged account abuse, the Target credentials provided for the intended Target should only be granted read-only access to the exact resources and data that require scanning. Never grant full user access privileges or unrestricted data access to any application if it is not required.

  4. Click Test. If ER2 can connect to the Target, the button changes to a Commit button.
  5. Click Commit to add the Target.
