In August 2021, Microsoft introduced a new capability to allow the ability to globally configure how Personal Identifiable Information (PII) is shared within Microsoft 365 reports. Enabling Data Anonymization encrypted the unique ID of a user. When Data Anonymization is enabled, Flexera's SaaS Management is unable to match the data retrieved from the Microsoft 365 portal to a user, which results in the users being shown in the SaaS Management Suspicious Activities report. Disabling Data Anonymization presented a challenge for customers as it breached their internal policies.
This release means that Flexera no longer requires Data Anonymization to be disabled, opening up the power of our SaaS Management Microsoft 365 and Microsoft 365 Client Credentials integrations to all customers.
More information on new features and enhancements can be found in What's New in Flexera One.
