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.

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 Azure active directory 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 Azure Active Directory.

Tenant Administrator accounts must have a mailbox with a valid Microsoft Exchange Online license.

To use On Demand Migration, the Tenant Administrator for each tenant in a project must grant Azure consents and permissions to the On Demand Migration service principals.

Migration Manager

You can use a temporary tenant user account to operate on tenant assets. In this document the term Migration Manager refers to the source or target Azure active directory user account that has temporary access to the tenant through the Global administrator security role. Depending on the tenant asset that is being migrated, this temporary user account must grant specific consents. For example, when teams are migrated, the account that is assigned the Migration Manager role is added to the team. This temporary role is required for migrating teams by the by the On Demand Migration service.

If you choose to work with this temporary account, you must login to the tenant as the Migration Manager and grant the consents and permissions to the On Demand service principal.

When you are done with the migration, it is recommended that you delete the temporary account for security reasons. See Finalizing the Migration for more details.
