Introduction
As security best practices evolve, SoftwareOne evolves with them. As part of this evolution, SoftwareOne has decided to put the security-related aspects of activating a customer’s Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Azure subscriptions into the hands of the customer.
For Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure under the Digital Workplace Essentials or Azure Simple offerings respectively, you must complete a final step once Guided Activation is complete. The steps below outline the process.
Note: The instructions below cover both Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure. You will likely only need to execute one of these depending on what you have purchased
Getting Started
Once you have completed the Guided Activation process, navigate to Cloud Tenant Setup. You will find it in the left navigation menu under Setup.
Microsoft 365
If you purchased the 365Simple or Digital Workplace Essentials offering, you will see your tenant list in Cloud Tenant Setup. The status of the Cloud Account will be “Activation Required” and you will see the “Activate Microsoft 365” link in the Actions column.
Click the “Activate Microsoft 365” link and sign into Microsoft using the credentials of a Global Administrator in your tenant.
Once signed in, review the permissions required for PyraCloud and click the Accept button.
If you have completed the steps successfully, the “Activate Microsoft 365” link will disappear.
Microsoft Azure
If you purchased the AzureSimple offering, you will see your tenant list in Cloud Tenant Setup. The status of the Cloud Account will be “Activation Required” and you will see the “Activate Microsoft Azure” link in the Actions column.
Click the “Activate Microsoft Azure” link and sign into Microsoft using the credentials of an account in your tenant that has the Owner or User Access Administrator role in the Azure subscriptions you wish to activate.
Once signed in, review the permissions required for PyraCloud and click the Accept button.
If you have completed the steps successfully, the “Activate Microsoft Azure” link will disappear.
Finishing Up
Once you have activated everything that requires activation, the Actions column will contain a “Manage” link and the status column will change to “Connected“.
