Exchange Online OAuth2 User Account

In this article

Overview

Use this account type to connect Exchange Online Snaps with data sources that use Exchange Online OAuth2 User accounts. The Exchange Online OAuth2 User Account has limited user permissions as you do not require all the permissions in the Microsoft Azure Portal. The User Account is typically used when an individual user needs access to the Exchange Online mailbox. This method allows the application or service to interact with the user's Exchange Online mailbox on their behalf. Refer to this example to know when to use the Exchange Online OAuth2 User Account.
