The following information is displayed for each template:

Create an Office 365 auditing template

The following section describes the steps to create a template and the required web application so you can begin to audit the Office 365 activity.

2
Click Auditing.
3
Select Office 365 (under Applications).
4
Click Add to open the auditing wizard.

Ensure the following permissions are assigned to the Azure web application:

Microsoft Graph application permissions:

Office 365 Management APIs application permissions:

7
Click Select agent to view available agents and whether they are assigned to an Office 365 auditing template. The Office 365 cell contains ‘None’ if an agent is not assigned to a template, or ‘Auditing’ if it is assigned to a template. From this list, select the agent to capture the events and click OK.
b
Click Next to select the activities to audit within the Exchange Online organization.

All changes made by administrators to the Office 365 Exchange Online organization.

Set tenant mailbox auditing settings

When you disable this option:

 

By default, only activities performed by users other than the mailbox owner (non-owner activity) are audited. You can however, disable this option and audit only specific mailboxes.

1
Click Select mailboxes.

 

 

 

To optionally add owner auditing on specific mailboxes, enable the Include Owner Activity option.

The "Owner Activity" audited on a configured mailbox include folder, message, and login events.

2
Locate the required mailbox to enable or disable to Include Owner Activity as required.

Use existing tenant mailbox settings

When this is enabled, the template settings will have no effect on the mailbox auditing settings. The settings in the tenant will be used.

9
Click Next to optionally specify the generic events to exclude from auditing based on their operations. The operations are visible in the "Activity Name/Operation" column of the Office 365 built-in searches. Generic events are dynamically created when associated activity is detected that does not have a corresponding event defined in Change Auditor. See Working with generic Office 365 and Azure Active Directory events for more information.

Click Finish to create the template.

Edit an Office 365 auditing template

This section describes the steps to add or remove an Office 365 service to audit; update the account used by the agent to maintain Exchange Online auditing configuration; and update the mailboxes and type of Exchange Online events to monitor.

To select a new agent, you must create a new template or use the Set-CAO365Template command through PowerShell. (See the Change Auditor PowerShell Command Guide for details.)
