Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) is a solution that brings together many well-known tools such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. in the cloud, making them accessible from anywhere. The suite has since expanded with more collaborative tools such as Teams, Skype, Yammer, as well as storage with OneDrive. The 365 suite is updated automatically, which reinforces its high level of security and ensures its continuous evolution. Its major strength is its collaborative aspect, allowing you to work together on the same file. With Microsoft 365, you can create administrative units and thus grant delegated administrator roles to certain individuals. Office 365 also allows you to create distribution groups for sending your emails, saving time on your frequent mailings.

Youzer's Microsoft 365 connector allows you to list all accounts registered in your 365 instance. It also automates the creation, modification, and suspension of Microsoft 365 accounts.
The main attributes you can manage are FirstName, LastName, Alias (Email), Distribution Groups, etc.
You can also manage attributes such as EmployeeId, EmployeeType, Company, and JobTitle.
License allocation can also be automated upon creation, for example, through Microsoft 365 group management.
Even if you have an Active Directory synchronized with AD Connect, it is more practical to create 365 accounts directly with the Youzer Microsoft 365 connector without waiting for the replication of accounts created on your Active Directory by your AD Connect. This allows you to have the 365 account available immediately with the correct licenses or distribution groups.
Microsoft 365 has a fairly rich API platform and allows you to perform all the necessary operations via the Microsoft APIs (Graph API). The Youzer connector uses these APIs to manage the various actions of creating, modifying, and reading the different accounts on your Microsoft 365 instance.
When installing the Microsoft 365 connector, Youzer will open a consent window to authorize the Youzer Microsoft 365 connector on your Microsoft 365 instance.
For certain advanced functionalities such as converting a mailbox into a shared mailbox, it will be necessary to enter a secondary authentication, because the Microsoft APIs have certain limitations which are compensated for by the use of PowerShell scripts.
If you have multiple 365 instances, you can create a Youzer connector per Microsoft 365 instance.
