Connect a SharePoint Data Source
You can connect SharePoint as a data source using single-user authentication with an individual or service account. This connection method uses a single user SharePoint Online or Microsoft account to allow Tonkean to monitor a SharePoint environment.
If an admin at your organization prefers to set up a tenant-level connection with Tonkean, there are two options available. See Set Up a Tonkean SharePoint Application for detailed setup instructions.
If your admin has already set up a tenant-level connection with Tonkean, follow the process described in Connect SharePoint Using Application Authentication, except you must request the Tenant ID value in step #7, then skip to step #9.
