This feature is in Early Access preview.

This guide provides the steps you need to follow in order to onboard Microsoft 365 accounts onto the Posture Management service.

This article will guide you through the following steps:

  • Prepare the IAM policy that grants Read-Only permissions to Posture Management to access your AWS account for information about resources. 
  • Create an IAM Role that Posture Management can use to access your environment. This IAM Role should have the IAM permission configured in the previous step. To monitor the Amazon S3 service, the created IAM Role should have the AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess policy assigned.
