Connect Microsoft 365

Grant Microsoft 365 tenant consent and import your organization into Elba.

Reviewed Jul 12, 2026 · Product

Connecting Microsoft 365 lets Elba import users and use the Microsoft capabilities available to your workspace.

Administrator required

Use a Microsoft Global Administrator for the end-to-end setup. Elba recognizes Application Administrators in parts of the sign-in flow, but some tenant-wide permissions can require the stronger role.

Authorize Elba

  1. Sign in with a work or school account for the Microsoft tenant you want to connect.
  2. Start the Microsoft 365 connection from Elba onboarding or Settings → Integrations.
  3. Configure the workspace details requested by Elba.
  4. Select Authorize to open Microsoft’s tenant-consent flow.
  5. Review the requested permissions and grant consent for the organization.
  6. Return to Elba and wait for the authorization check to complete.
  7. Allow the initial user import to finish. Consent can take up to a minute to propagate, and the import can take a few minutes.

Verify the connection

  • Elba completes the authorization step and advances to the next onboarding stage.
  • Users from the intended tenant begin appearing in Elba.
  • Microsoft 365 reports as connected under Settings → Integrations.

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure the signed-in account belongs to the intended tenant and has Global Administrator access.
  • If your tenant blocks user consent, ask the Microsoft 365 administrator to complete the flow.
  • If consent was granted but Elba is still waiting, allow a short propagation window before retrying.
  • Restart the authorization from Elba if the Microsoft consent page has expired.
