Visio

tip

Visio is no longer available when selecting Add Application on the Managed SaaS Applications page. Use instead the Microsoft 365, Microsoft 365 Certificate Based Authentication, or Microsoft 365 Client Credentials integration to view your organization’s Office 365, Dynamics 365, Power BI, Project, and Visio license usage data. To deactivate an existing integration, see Avoiding Duplicate Microsoft 365 Licenses between SaaS Management and IT Asset Management.

Microsoft Visio is software used for drawing a variety of diagrams. These diagrams include flowcharts, org charts, building plans, floor plans, data flow diagrams, process flow diagrams, business process modeling, swimlane diagrams, 3D maps, and more.

note

Consider the following:

• After the Authorization is completed and the integration tasks are executed successfully, the user role can be reduced to the Report Reader role.

• After Authorizing, changing the password, or revoking the user roles for the user used for authorizing will result in an integration task failure.

• To fetch sign-in events:

  • You must have an Azure AD Premium P1 or Premium P2 license assigned per tenant. For more information, see the Microsoft Security topic, Azure Active Directory editions).
  • You must ensure the Office 365 audit log is turned on. For more information, see the Microsoft topic, Turn Office 365 audit log search on or off.

The required authentication method is OAuth 2.0 With Authorize Flow. For more information, see Microsoft’s documentation topic, Microsoft Identity Platform and OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow.

Required Visio Credentials

The following credentials are required:

• Username

• Password.

note

Username and Password are required only for authorizing the application permissions. These values are not stored in SaaS Management.

Data Anonymization for Visio

Data anonymization is the processing technique that removes or modifies identifiable information. After the process is complete, data cannot be associated with a specific user. It helps protect private and sensitive data as well as private activities while maintaining its integrity.

When adding the Visio application, it is important to make sure that anonymized users are not imported from Visio into SaaS Management. You will need to access reports that provide information about your organization’s use of applications and services.

The following procedure is important as a prerequisite to ensure that anonymized user data is not imported when integrating Visio with SaaS Management.

To view reports with anonymized user data:

1. Sign in to the Microsoft 365 Portal Admin Center.
2. In the menu, go to Settings > Org settings and click the Services link at the top.
3. Scroll down and click Reports.
4. In the window that is displayed, clear the Display concealed user, group, and site names in all reports box.
5. Proceed to Integrating Visio With SaaS Management.

note

Ensure that data anonymization is disabled in your Microsoft account. Otherwise, all activity data will end up in Suspicious SaaS Activities. For more information, see Microsoft’s documentation topic, Microsoft 365 Reports Show Anonymous User Names Instead of Actual User Names. If anonymized user data has been imported after integrating Visio with SaaS Management, submit a Support Case.

Integrating Visio With SaaS Management
