# How do I connect the Microsoft tenant for data collection?

365 Analytics reporting uses application consent to collect data from your Microsoft 365 tenant. Application consent is used to collect data via the Graph API. 

To learn why this is important, what data is collected, and what security measures are in place, [What data do you collect for 365 Analytics?](/help-and-support/faqs/what-data-do-you-collect-for-365-analytics.md)

Follow these steps to connect your 365 tenant:

1. Browse to the URL that SoftwareOne provided. You'll either receive the URL from the SoftwareOne support team, or you'll see a banner in 365 Analytics stating that the data collector requires additional permissions.
2. Sign in to the Client Portal with the agreed global administrator account. Use the password that was set in Client Portal, not your Microsoft 365 account password.
3. Select **Connect Tenant**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.platform.softwareone.com/help-and-support/faqs/how-do-i-connect-the-microsoft-tenant-for-data-collection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
