Quest On Demand uses the Role-based Access Control (RBAC) security policy that restricts information system access to authorized users. Subscribers can create specific roles based on job functions, with the permissions to perform needed operations on the assets of the organization. When users are assigned to On Demand roles, they inherit the authorizations or permissions defined for those roles. RBAC simplifies permission administration for subscribers because permissions are not assigned directly to every user (which can be a significant number of individuals for mid- to large-size organizations) but are instead acquired through role assignments.
The following are some key Quest On Demand and tenant roles that you will need to work with On Demand Migration for Hybrid Exchange.
On Demand Administrator
This role is assigned to users who have full access to the Quest On Demand application. They can manage organizations and tenants, initiate the migration of tenant assets, manage licenses, audit records and perform many other functions through the Quest On Demand application. Some of the key permissions associated with this role are as follows:
Create, Rename and Delete projects |

On Demand predefined roles
Quest On Demand is shipped with many predefined roles. On Demand Administrator, Migration Administrator, Audit Administrator, License Management Administrator and Recovery Administrator are some examples.
On Demand custom roles
You can create more roles with specific permissions to allow other users to work with On Demand Migration. See the On Demand Global Settings Current User Guide for more information about setting up roles.
Tenant Administrator
In this document the term Tenant Administrator refers to the Microsoft Entra ID user account for the source or target tenant that is assigned the Global administrator security role and has full access to the tenant. Each tenant that you add to a project requires the credentials of the Tenant Administrator. The Tenant Administrator may require additional roles to grant the necessary consents to various On Demand service principals that are created in the tenant to access various assets in the tenant during the migration lifecycle. See Consents and Permissions for more details. For more information about user and service principals see the Microsoft article Application and service principal objects in Microsoft Entra ID.
Tenant Administrator accounts must have a mailbox with a valid Microsoft Exchange Online license.
To use On Demand Migration for Hybrid Exchange, the Tenant Administrator for each tenant in a project must grant Azure consents and permissions to the On Demand Migration for Hybrid Exchange service principals.
Multi-factor authentication
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is supported for tenant administrators. For On Demand users, MFA support depends on how your organization has set up your access.
If you sign-in with your email and password, MFA has not been activated. If you click Sign in with Microsoft, MFA has been activated. If your organization requires multi-factor authentication and you receive an authorization error, your conditional access policy may not be configured correctly. You can do one of two things:
- Contact your IT administrator to deactivate MFA for during migrations.
- Contact "Azure Identity" support for help with configuring conditional access policies.
On Demand Migration for Hybrid Exchange (ODMHE) provides intuitive project management for migrating mail content from one environment to another. You can create a migration project that provides a full range of migration features, and track content migration in one comprehensive migration project dashboard. You can create multiple migration projects and use the My Projects list view for a summarized list of all your migration projects.
Migration steps
Each On Demand migration project needs a target tenant. These are Commercial tenants. For users in the United States deployment region, On Demand Migration offers two options depending on the type of Microsoft 365 tenant that you want to add:
- Commercial or GCC Tenant - choose this option if you want to add either a Microsoft 365 commercial tenant hosted on the Azure public cloud or a Microsoft 365 GCC (Government Community Cloud) tenant with moderate cyber-security and compliance standards hosted on the Azure Government cloud.
- GCC High Tenant - choose this option if you want to add a Microsoft 365 GCC High tenant with advanced cyber-security and compliance standards like NIST 800-171, FedRAMP High and ITAR hosted on the Azure Government cloud.
|
NOTE: When you create a migration project, a GCC or GCC High tenant can be used as the target tenant only. Currently, only the On Demand Migration module supports GCC and GCC High tenants. |
For more information about adding, removing and managing tenants, see Managing your Azure tenants and on-premises domains in the On Demand Global Settings Current User Guide.
