    Requirements

    This page lists the Microsoft Syntex adoption assessment specific requirements and options.

    Permission requirements

    When using the Microsoft Syntex adoption module of the Microsoft 365 Assessment tool you do need to use a configured Entra application (learn more here). The Microsoft 365 Assessment tool aims to be able to perform the Microsoft Syntex adoption assessment using minimal read permissions, but for a full assessment the optimal permissions are required.

    Authentication Minimal Optimal Details
    Application Graph: Sites.Read.All
    SharePoint: Sites.Read.All
    Graph: Sites.Read.All
    SharePoint: Sites.FullControl.All
    When using the --syntexfull argument the assessment tool will use the search APIs to count how many documents use a given content type and how many retention labels there are applied on a list, and search in combination with application permissions requires Sites.FullControl.All. The assessment tool will also check if a library uses workflow 2013 and this requires the Sites.Manage.All or higher permission role
    Delegated Graph: Sites.Read.All, User.Read
    SharePoint: AllSites.Read
    Graph: Sites.Read.All, User.Read
    SharePoint: AllSites.Manage
    The assessment tool will check if a library uses workflow 2013 and this requires the AllSites.Manage or higher permission scope

    Command line arguments for starting an assessment

    When starting the Microsoft Syntex adoption assessment it's recommended to use the --syntexfull argument, adding this argument will make the assessment use search to gather exact file counts per content type and retention label counts. This however also requires that your Entra application is correctly configured to allow this as was explained in previous chapter.

    Note

    To learn more about starting an assessment checkout the Microsoft 365 Assessment tool Start documentation.
