Create a new Advanced session

Creating an Advance session in sapio365 requires giving admin consent to the application's permissions necessary to view or change data.

  1. Click on ‘New Advanced Session’.

  2. Sign-in with your Microsoft 365 account credentials when prompted by Microsoft 365, and answer any 2-factor authentication set in your environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when I create an Advanced session?

When launching an Advanced session for the first time, the application requires a one-time admin consent for sapio365 to access Microsoft 365 data.

Upon creation, the sapio365 application “Ytria sapio365 - with Admin Consent” is added to the list of Enterprise Apps in your Azure Active Directory, which can then be used by the users who give user consent or by all users in the tenant if consent is given tenant-wide by an admin.

If the application is removed from Azure AD or the admin consent is revoked, it can be added back by creating an Advanced session once again.

Admins can limit access to sapio365 to specific groups or users using Conditional Access. See “I'm an admin. Can I limit usage to a specific group of users?” in FAQ below.

An Advanced session in sapio365 can be identified in the list as “Ytria sapio365 - with Admin Consent”.

What exactly am I consenting to?

You’re consenting to the delegated permissions of the sapio365 application that allow you to access Microsoft 365 data within the scope of your user rights in Microsoft 365. This consent is between you and the sapio365 application. Your data NEVER goes through any third-party servers.

List of permissions used by sapio365 application for an Advanced session.

Why am I not able to give consent to sapio365?

Only a global (company) administrator can provide admin consent for the permissions of sapio365 applications used in advanced and elevated sessions. If you can’t obtain admin consent, you can use a standard session.

Does using an advanced session mean that I can access every users’ data?

No. Your access and actions remain limited by the rights and permissions you have in Microsoft 365. An advanced session in sapio365 gives you the advantage of having everything in one place, the ability to make bulk changes and create custom reports. You’ll need elevated privileges to access mailboxes and sites you don’t own.

Will my information pass through any external servers?

No, sapio365 does not require external servers to process this information – ever.

Is my Microsoft 365 data stored anywhere?

Some data is stored locally on your machine as a cache to improve processing times. The encryption of data is session-based so your information is protected.

Can I limit usage to a specific group of users?

Yes, just like for any application in your Azure AD, you can enable “User assignment required?” (1), and assign users to the app (2).
