Microsoft Graph Data Connect

Microsoft Graph is the Microsoft 365 data that describes the patterns of productivity, identity, and security in an organization. Microsoft Graph Data Connect offers developers a way to copy Microsoft Graph datasets, at scale, into Azure Data Factory. It enables developers to copy select Microsoft 365 datasets into Azure data stores in a secure and scalable way. This can be used to train machine learning and AI models that uncover organizational insights and deliver new value to analytics solutions.

The service includes

• Granular consent ensures that applications can access only the data that's essential to their function, and not more
• Data governance that lets developers specify a set of detailed policies to minimize compliance management overhead
• Scalable data access delivers Microsoft Graph data to an app, on a repeatable schedule, with a few simple steps
• Discrete Azure services allow developers to collocate an app and its data in a separately provisioned Azure instance

Users can deploy applications that access large datasets. Built-in security and data governance capabilities allow app developers to specify a set of detailed policies with which they intend to comply. Microsoft 365 administrators then review and consent to these policies, ensuring compliance.
