# Adding Microsoft 365 tenant to GitProtect
How to integrate a Microsoft 365 organization with 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
The following documentation applies only to **Microsoft 365** organizations with **GitProtect** licenses that include backup for **Microsoft Exchange** data (including individual mailboxes, calendars, and contacts) and **OneDrive**.
For instructions on enabling protection for **SharePoint** sites in new and existing **Microsoft 365** organizations, refer to the [Enabling SharePoint protection in GitProtect](/backup-and-recovery/microsoft-365/integration/enabling-sharepoint-protection-in-gitprotect.md) article.
