Integration to Microsoft 365

Tenant is a label for a company (organization) identity in a rented space – Microsoft cloud services. Tenant, or a company account, is created when creating a Microsoft cloud service. You will use this account to log in to the environment where you can manage and use your cloud services. All information such as domains, users, service subscription is linked to the company account.

Tenant name is also related to the string generated automatically when creating the tenant – a Tenant ID. This string (such as "b410305f-3ebe-474a-a83f-4add9acd47d1") is required when linking to the Microsoft 365 environment.

The user creating the tenant automatically receives its Global administrator role. This role gives the ability to set up all service parameters and also manage the users, including their role assignments. Because it is an important role, it is recommended for larger organizations to set up more than one user with this role to allow substitution.
