Adding a Microsoft Entra Tenant
Adding a Microsoft Entra Tenant
For instructions on how to add or remove an Microsoft Entra tenant, see the Tenant Management section in the On Demand Global Settings User Guide.
|
NOTE: Although GCC High tenants can be added on the Tenants page for use in other On Demand modules, On Demand Recovery does not support restoring objects from GCC High tenants. This type of tenant will not be available for selection in On Demand Recovery. GCC tenants are also not supported. |
When a tenant is added, the creation of backups is disabled by default. You must enable the backup creation as described in Step 6 in Working with On Demand Recovery.
Required Permissions
This section lists the minimum user account permissions required to perform specific On Demand Recovery tasks.
Azure Account Used to Grant Consents
The ability for On Demand service principals to access and operate with tenant assets requires explicit permissions. The Tenant Administrator grants these permissions through consents.
Each tenant that is added has granted consent to the initial Core – Basic permission set to the On Demand service principal. Additional consents are required to work with different features of On Demand Recovery. There are two service principals for On Demand Recovery; On Demand Recovery Basic and On Demand Recovery Restore. For more information on explicit permission for each service principal, see Basic Consent Permissions and Restore Consent Permissions.
- On Demand Recovery requires Basic consent in the Recovery section. Basic consent is used for all read operations including backups.
- For backup operations, the Global Reader role can be used.
- On Demand Recovery requires Restore consent in the Recovery section. Restore consent is used for all write operations including restore.
- For restore operations, the Authentication Administrator, User Administrator, Windows 365 Administrator and Conditional Access Administrator roles must be used. In addition, if any Conditional Access policies use a custom security attribute, the Attribute Definition Reader role will also be required.
For some advanced features, a separate service account is required and you must specify this service account in the backup settings.
Role definitions for On Demand Recovery
- User Administrator: User Administrator role is required to check if user is soft-deleted. It checks if the user is in the Recycle Bin or not.
- Authentication Administrator: Authentication Administrator role is required to set the MFA setting of the user to enforced state from either enabled or disabled state.

Application permissions are used in the app-only access scenario, without a signed-in user present. The application will be able to access any data that the permission is associated with. Only an administrator or owner of the service principal can consent to application permissions.
Delegated permissions are permissions that allow the application to act on a user's behalf. The application will never be able to access anything the signed in user themselves could not access.
