This article explains how to configure an Office 365 Connector to use the Cloudiway Platform for migration or coexistence products.
Office 365 Connector Configuration > AUTOFILL THIS FORM
This option connects to your Office 365 tenant with global admin credentials and automatically grabs the Tenant Name, the Default Domain Name and automatically creates an Azure Active Directory Application. The global Admin credentials are used only for this operation and are not stored on the Platform.
Tenant

- For GALSync, this is the list of domains to synchronize.
- For FreeBusy, you must enter only one domain (therefore create one connector per domain).
