About SharePoint Online account monitoring
The SharePoint Online storage hierarchy consists of an account, site collections, sites, document libraries, and subsites. Information Governance logically maps to these descendants as filers, repository, and folders or files.
Information Governance scans the site collections and the sites in the hierarchy to collect the metadata properties such as the file creation date or created by.
Information Governance scans the sites and document libraries available in a SharePoint Online account.
You must perform the following steps to enable Information Governance to monitor a SharePoint Online account:
Configure an administrator account in SharePoint Online (in M365); make sure that this administrator account has full control over the site collections and is an owner for team site collections. Information Governance uses this account to impersonate a user account to query the site collections.
Make sure that the site collections are configured for the SharePoint Online account. You can configure Information Governance to automatically discover the site collections.
When adding a SharePoint Online account, Information Governance excludes the following site collections from getting discovered.
<companyname>.sharepoint.com/portals/community
<companyname>.sharepoint.com/search
<companyname>.sharepoint.com/sites/CompliancePolicyCenter
<companyname>-my.sharepoint.com
For Information Governance to access the SharePoint Online account, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
Ensure you have sufficient network connectivity for configuration.
Ensure that you are aware of the SharePoint Online Account Administration Center Site URL that you want Information Governance to monitor.
The Minimum Privileged user account is configured in the M365 admin center. This account should have administrative privileges on the target site collections and should be an owner for team site collections.
