Syskit Point introduced the new Storage Management for SharePoint Online feature; for it to work, additional configuration of your existing Point instance is needed. This functionality uses an API where the Microsoft backend software aggregates all the information into an XML file and saves it directly on your existing Storage account. For this to work, we generate a , which is passed to the Microsoft backend; Microsoft uses this token to write back the output manifest directly to your blobs. This token is generated with a limited lifetime and scope, and it is shared with Microsoft backend only.
The script will:
Create a Private endpoint so Syskit Point can securely read information from the storage account queue
Configure Firewall rules with exceptions for Microsoft services that need to access your storage account directly
To run the script, you will need to:
