The Tenant Owner and Service Administrators can also for Microsoft 365 to connect AvePoint Online Services to your Microsoft 365 tenant.
*Note: Users with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enabled cannot be used as the service account to perform Aviator jobs.
If you use both app profile and service account authentications for the source, there are no permission requirements for the service account.
If you only use service account authentication for the source, make sure the service account meets the following requirements:
Fly allows you to use the Fly delegated app profile or custom delegated app profile to connect to your workspace.
*Note: The license and permission requirements for the consent user are the same as those for the service account. Refer to Service Account Permissions for details.
*Note: If the consent user of the delegated app profile has Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enabled, you must authorize or re-authorize the delegated app profile after MFA is enabled. Otherwise, the migration jobs using the delegated app profile will fail.
*Note: If you re-authorize the app profile, you need to wait about one hour before using the app profile for your migration to refresh the token when there are permissions updated.
To use the Fly delegated app profile with required permissions, refer to Fly Delegated App Profile Permissions.
To use a custom delegated app profile with required permissions, refer to the following steps:
| API | Permission | Type | Purpose |
