The machine for the migration worker does not need to be domain joined to the tenant. The migration account must have access to the target tenant per our product documentation. The migration worker will prompt a request for the account used for migrations. This account must have full access to the target mailboxes per the following Migration Account Permission Requirements.
• There are two accounts used on the migration workstations for the actual migration of data: Exchange migration account and the Lotus Notes ID.
Exchange Migration Account:
o Must be a mailbox enabled user object
o Password should be set to never expire
o Must be used to log into each of the migration worker machines
o Is set to have Full Access to Exchange mailboxes during the Provisioning process
Note: When multiple migration workstations are configured, several Migration accounts can be used and configured individually for migration workstations. This can be used to minimize the impact of Exchange or Office 365 throttling policies.
For the person(s) performing the migration process there are two accounts to consider when performing migrations: The Active Directory account (or Office 365 Administration account) that is logged into the machine being used and the Notes ID that is being used to access the Notes Migrator Domino application.
Active Directory Migration Operator Requirements:

o Ability to manipulate user objects, specifically modify the targetAddress, proxyaddresses, mail and msExchPoliciesExcluded attributes (ADO)
o Ability to delete contact objects created by the directory synchronization process (ADO)
o Ability to update Distribution List member lists (ADO)
