Adding Microsoft 365 tenant to GitProtect

Adding a Microsoft 365 tenant to GitProtect connects your organization's environment and enables data protection for supported services. The integration requires proper authorization and tenant-level permissions to establish a secure connection between Microsoft 365 and GitProtect, allowing you to configure backup settings, manage protection policies, and perform recovery operations.

Important notice
