The first time you sign in, CtrlConnect walks you through connecting your Microsoft 365 tenant. You choose where your data is stored and grant the Microsoft permissions CtrlConnect needs to read and manage your tenant.

​
Choose a data region

The region you pick sets where CtrlConnect stores your tenant data. You can choose:
  • North America
  • Europe
CtrlConnect saves your choice and uses it every time you sign in.
Choose your region carefully. You can’t change it yourself after your tenant is set up. Contact support@ctrlconnect.nl if you need to move regions.

​
Grant permissions

Microsoft requires a Global Administrator to consent before CtrlConnect can access your tenant. The permissions page groups the requested access into two capabilities: Each capability card lists the exact Microsoft Graph permissions it requests. The page also explains what admins can and can’t do with those permissions, and how to revoke them.
1

Review the requested permissions

Read the capability cards and the access explanation on the Grant permissions page.
2

Continue in Microsoft

Click Continue in Microsoft. Microsoft opens its own consent dialog, where you sign in as a Global Administrator and accept.
3

Return to CtrlConnect

After you accept, Microsoft returns you to CtrlConnect and your tenant is connected.

​
Request approval from an administrator

If you aren’t a Global Administrator, you can still start the setup:
  1. On the Grant permissions page, click Request approval.
  2. Enter your Global Administrator’s email address and send the request.
  3. Your administrator receives a notification to review and approve the permissions.
While you wait, CtrlConnect shows a Pending approval page. After the request is approved, you can continue to the console.

​
Revoke access

You can remove CtrlConnect’s access at any time from the Microsoft Entra admin center, the same way you remove any enterprise application. After you revoke access, CtrlConnect can no longer read or change your tenant.
