    Register an application with the Microsoft identity platform

    		 Register an application on the Microsoft Azure platform from here to get the Client ID, Client Secret, and Tenant ID. For information on the Roles required for creating an application, see Prerequisites.

    For information on the API Permissions/Roles required on a Microsoft Azure application to configure it on ServiceNow Microsoft DLP integration, refer to the following table.
    Permissions required for Azure user to get the access of read/write/delete blob on Azure Storage
    1. Assign the Storage Blob Data Contributor role to an existing Azure user to read, write, and delete blobs on Azure Storage. For information about the role, see Azure built-in roles: Storage Blob Data Contributor. Alternatively, create a custom role and specify the actions. For information about creating custom roles, see Azure custom roles.
    2. Assign a shared access key to the user that has the role privileges. For information about account access keys, see View account access keys.
    Permissions required for AWS user to get the access of read/write/delete object on AWS Storage Create a policy that gives list, read, write, and delete access for the object in AWS S3 Storage.
    1. Create and configure an Amazon S3 bucket. For information about creating an S3 bucket, see Create an S3 bucket.
    2. Provide read and write access to Amazon S3 bucket objects. For information about the object accesses, see the example policy. For information about creating policies, see Create IAM policies.
    3. Provide the access key and the secret key to the user. For information about authentication, see Authenticating the AWS tools.
    Assign and verify if you have the required roles for ServiceNow AI Platform and Data Loss Administration roles. The following roles are required for configuration and verification of the expected results:
    • The admin role installs the integration from the ServiceNow Store and assigns the sn_dlir.admin role.
    • The sn_dlir.admin role performs the following tasks:
      • Configures the integration.
      • Sets up the incident profiles.
    Verify that the ServiceNow core applications required to support the Microsoft DLP IR integration are installed and activated before you configure this integration. Verify that the following DLP IR applications and security support common applications are installed and activated from the ServiceNow Store. Install and activate through the application, if required.
    • Security Support Common
    • Data Loss Prevention Incident Response
