Entra ID License Type

Red Canary connects to Microsoft data through two distinct methods, determined by your type of Microsoft Entra ID license:

• Entra ID P1: Access is granted via a service account. For detailed setup instructions, see Entra ID P1 License - Grant Red Canary Read-Only Access to Microsoft Defender.

• Entra ID P2: Access is managed through Entra ID Identity Governance. For detailed setup instructions, see Entra ID P2 - Grant Red Canary access to your Microsoft Defender console.
