Minimum required Permissions for User(s) to connect to Microsoft Teams and SharePoint Online

Hello everyone,

currently we are trying to set up an initial synchronization with Microsoft Teams and also we are trying to set up an initial synchronization with SharePoint Online.

In the documentation for Microsoft Teams this is stated:

User for accessing Azure Active Directory

"... you require a user account that is a member in the Global administrator Azure Active Directory administration role ..."

And in the documentation for SharePoint Online is stated:

User for accessing SharePoint Online

"... An administrative user account of the corresponding Azure Active Directory tenant, which has the following administration roles:

  • SharePoint administrators
  • Azure Active Directory company administrator/global administrator"

https://support.oneidentity.com/technical-documents/identity-manager/9.0%20lts/administration-guide-for-connecting-to-sharepoint-online/2#TOPIC-1849449

We would NOT like to use those roles due to security reasons. Does someone know what the minimum required permissions are for those users to set up those initial synchronizations?

Thank you very much in advance!
