Azure Resource Discovery: Include Scopes

Select Collect only selected subscriptions to explicitly include individual subscriptions in the scope.

- OR-
Select Collect all subscriptions with the option to exclude selected subscriptions to collect all available information from most or all of the subscriptions on the target tenant.

Azure Resource Discovery: Decide what to collect from the subscriptions in the discovery

Basic information from the tenant (the tenant name and full LDAP path) is always collected.

The following table outlines the additional information that can be collected. Collecting additional information impacts discovery performance. Options with a high performance cost will slow discovery performance more than options with a medium or low performance cost.

However, using Multi-Factor Authentication enabled credentials on Microsoft 365 discoveries can result in an incomplete collection that omits one or more objects and attributes. For more information, see Multi-Factor Authentication Discovery Credential Limitations .
