2. Enable Microsoft 365 Account Access

Enable OneDrive File Storage

As a Company Manager, you can configure which file storage solution(s) are available for use in Venn using the File Storage and Data Control Data Loss Prevention Policy. Under this policy, you can determine which file systems are available to users and the default save and download locations for users' documents.

To enable OneDrive File Storage for users as part of your default DLP Policy or a Policy Override:

1. Navigate to login.venn.com and Sign In with valid credentials.
   You may be required to verify the sign-in by completing the multifactor authentication on your mobile device.
2. Click Company admin or Manage > Company admin.

   

3. Click Policy Admin and select DLP Policy in the menu at left.
4. Locate the policy you would like to change or add.
   • To update your default policy, look under Default policy.
   • To update an override policy, click Edit to the right of the override record under Policy overrides.
   • To create a new policy override, click Add New to the right of Policy overrides.
5. Click Change next to File storage and data control.

   

6. In the policy editor, locate OneDrive and toggle it On. This will reveal OneDrive configuration options.
7. In order to enable the use of OneDrive in Venn, you must specify a tenant name and ID. Venn uses your organization’s tenant information to ensure that traffic from your users’ computers can connect to the company's tenant and to map OneDrive within your users’ File Explorer or Finder. You can obtain your organization's tenant information by following the instructions in this article.

   

   To add tenant details:

   1. Click Add tenant details.
   2. Type or paste your tenant name and ID into the provided fields.
   3. Click Add tenant.

      

8. Choose whether or not you would like to Launch automatically when logging in to Venn. We recommend checking this box if OneDrive will be the primary file system for the users that the policy applies to. This will ensure that the OneDrive application automatically starts when a user logs in to Venn, similar to how apps can be automatically set to run when you log into a computer. 
9. When you enable OneDrive, it will automatically be selected as the default save and download location under Data Control. We recommend using OneDrive as your primary save and download location if OneDrive will be the primary file system for the users that the policy applies to.
10. Click Apply.

Once you apply your changes, the following will happen for users that the policy applies to:

• OneDrive will be authorized for use in Venn
• The OneDrive desktop application will be assigned to them and become available in the Venn Launcher
  This policy will assign the appropriate app to users. Do not assign the application from the All apps page in Company Admin.
• The OneDrive virtual drive will be mapped as a folder inside of Venn Disk

Enable Microsoft 365 Account Access

As a Company Manager, you can enable users to access Microsoft 365 accounts in Venn using the Account Access Data Loss Prevention Policy. Under this policy, you can determine whether or not users can access Microsoft 365 and restrict access to specific business domains.

To enable Microsoft 365 Account Access for users as part of your default DLP Policy or a Policy Override:

1. Navigate to login.venn.com and Sign In with valid credentials.
   You may be required to verify the sign-in by completing the multifactor authentication on your mobile device.
2. Click Company admin or Manage > Company admin.

   

3. Click Policy Admin and select DLP Policy in the menu at left.
4. Locate the policy you would like to change or add.
   • To update your default policy, look under Default policy.
   • To update an override policy, click Edit to the right of the override record under Policy overrides.
   • To create a new policy override, click Add New to the right of Policy overrides.
5. Click Change next to Account Access.

   

6. In the policy editor, choose one of the following options under Microsoft 365.

   

   • Allow access with any account: This option allows login with any Microsoft 365 business account.
   • Allow access with specific business accounts: This option only allows login if the account is linked to specific Microsoft 365 business accounts. In order to allow the use of specific Microsoft 365 business accounts in Venn, you must specify a tenant name and ID. You can obtain your organization's tenant information by following the instructions in this article. If you have already enabled OneDrive File Storage following the steps above, your tenant name and ID will already be populated. You can choose to add additional tenant details if desired. To add additional tenant details:
     1. Click Add tenant details.
     2. Type or paste your tenant name and ID into the provided fields.
     3. Click Add tenant.
7. Click Apply.

Once you apply your changes, the users that the policy applies to will be able to log in to their Microsoft 365 account in order to use OneDrive in Venn.
