Veeam Data Cloud M365 Admin Login

I have a critical suggestion. As you know, Veeam Data Cloud M365 management is available for Service Providers. And here again, you need to log in with the admin M365 user in your company. I have a problem here. I work for a global company and we have global policies. VDC wants to pull some data from me when entering M365. For this reason, my company does not allow me to enter here with my admin account. I think for VCSPs you should add login with My Veeam users like in Veeam Vault.

@tarik.yenisey this is a good suggestion. There will be changes in the near future that will align with what you are suggesting.

On a separate note, it is worth mentioning that VDC M365 does not actually access your Microsoft account credentials. What you go through is basically SSO with your existing company MSFT login so in that sense it is no different, or riskier, compated to when you login to your own domain for your own purposes.

Hope this helps.

@tarik.yenisey adding to what Georgi wrote, it does not need to be an M365 admin, simply an M365 user. The only data we read is the M365 user profile to confirm the user's identity.
