Connector permissions

What you are granting, and why

When you connect a Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant to one of the diagnostic tools, this page lists every permission requested, why it is requested, what is stored, what is never stored, and how to remove access. It is generated from the code that makes the request, so it cannot drift from what we actually ask for.

The short version

  • Read-only. Every Microsoft Graph permission requested is a Microsoft read permission (the name ends in .Read.All or .Read.Directory). No permission to create, change, or delete anything in your tenant is requested.
  • You are the controller. For the directory data these tools read, you are the data controller and ITSailor acts as your data processor. The processing runs on your instruction, which you give by connecting your tenant.
  • Identities are digested before logging. Raw names, email addresses, and user principal names are replaced with a one-way digest before anything is written to our logs. The report shown to your administrator still carries real identities, because it is your own tenant and you need them to act.
  • You can revoke at any time. Your administrator removes the grant directly with Microsoft or Google, without us, and all further reads stop at once.

SaaS Auditor

Microsoft Graph

Reads directory, licence, and security posture to find dormant accounts, wasted licences, Shadow IT, and standing admin risk.

A Microsoft 365 tenant administrator approves the connection. Every permission below is read-only.

offline_accessLet the connector refresh its own access token, so you can enrol in continuous monitoring without signing in again.Read-onlyYour sign-in refresh token, held server-side and encrypted, for up to 30 minutes so you can enrol in continuous monitoring (Tenant Monitor) without signing in again. On enrol it moves to encrypted long-term storage; otherwise it expires and is deleted.The token is never written in plaintext and never reaches your browser. This permission carries no directory read access.

How long it is kept

Your report is held server-side for up to ten minutes so the page can load it, then it expires. When you start a scan, your sign-in refresh token is also held server-side, encrypted, for up to thirty minutes so you can enrol in continuous monitoring without signing in again, then it is deleted. If you enrol in continuous monitoring (Tenant Monitor), the encrypted refresh token and the aggregate posture move to long-term storage so the scan can repeat on schedule; if you never enrol, nothing is kept.

How to revoke

A tenant administrator can remove the grant at any time in the Microsoft Entra admin center, under Enterprise applications, by deleting the ITSailor application. Revoking access stops all further reads at once.

Google Workspace Admin SDK

Reads the Workspace directory and per-user security state for the same dormant-account, licence, and Shadow IT audit.

A Google Workspace super administrator approves the connection. Every permission below is read-only.

How long it is kept

Your report is held server-side for up to ten minutes so the page can load it, then it expires. No sign-in token is stored: the one-off Google scan keeps nothing beyond that window. Use of Google Workspace data follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

How to revoke

A Workspace super administrator can remove the grant at admin.google.com under Security, API controls, App access control, or a user can remove it at myaccount.google.com under Security. Revoking access stops all further reads at once.

offline_accessReserved so a scheduled re-scan could refresh its own access token without a fresh sign-in. Scheduled re-scans are not enabled for the scorecard yet.Read-onlyNothing today. The scorecard scan does not retain your sign-in token; this permission is held in reserve for scheduled re-scans, which are not enabled yet.No directory data. This permission carries no read access, only the ability to refresh an access token.

How long it is kept

The live scan produces aggregate scorecard metrics (percentage, band, gap counts, per-control verdicts) kept for up to 180 days for the drift trend, keyed to an opaque random token in your browser, not your email. No identities are stored.

How to revoke

A tenant administrator can remove the grant at any time in the Microsoft Entra admin center, under Enterprise applications, by deleting the ITSailor application. Revoking access stops all further reads at once.
