Tenant connection

Not connected

This preview cannot hold client secrets or establish Microsoft Graph / Exchange PowerShell sessions. Use the integration blueprint to connect securely from a trusted local admin workstation or backend service.

Operational safeguards

Recommended production controls: least-privilege RBAC, certificate-based app-only authentication for unattended jobs, interactive sign-in for delegated sessions, secret/certificate rotation, audit logging, read-only default scopes and explicit confirmation for changes.
