Prerequisites
In order to use Cloudist Microsoft 365 Backup, an active Microsoft 365 Subscription is required.
A Portal account with the role of “Admin” or higher is also required.
Enabling Service
Log into the Portal and select Microsoft 365 Backup on the start page.
If the Service is not already enabled, click Enable Cloud Connect service. The Portal will respond with a message if everything was successful.
After clicking Enable Service, a dialogue with a device code and a link will be displayed. Open the link in a new browser windows or tab and enter the device code.
The user will be prompted to authenticate with a Microsoft Account. This Account needs to have the Global Administrator role. For more information about this role, see this Microsoft article.
Do not click FINALIZE until the device login step is completed!
Once the device login has been completed, the next step is to finalize the setup in the Portal. The task of setting up the organization will be carried out in the background and a notification will sent to the user once the process is completed.
