Connect a tenant to a Workspace
AI summary
Connect your Microsoft 365 tenant to your Workspace to allow Rencore Governance to scan your data and start governing it. Admin accounts with the appropriate service permissions (like Power Platform Administrator for Power Apps) must grant consent during the process.

Frequently asked questions
Which admin account do I need to connect a service to my tenant?
You need an account that holds the admin role for that service. For example, use a Power Platform Administrator for Power Apps and Power Automate, or a Fabric Administrator for Power BI.
Should I grant global consent or consent per service when connecting my tenant?
Consent per service is the recommended choice. It gives you more control over the Apps and permission to your tenant at a later date. You can also choose Global consent in Stage 2 (Consent).
