To sign in with a Microsoft 365 account, complete the following steps:

  1. On the sign-in page, click Sign in with Microsoft.
    Note: If you are using the Microsoft 365 account to sign into another app on the same browser, you will be automatically signed into IBM® Storage Protect for Cloud.
  2. On the Microsoft 365 authentication page, enter an existing Microsoft 365 login ID and password.
  3. Click Sign in.
  4. If it is the first time that this Microsoft 365 account is signing into IBM Storage Protect for Cloud, the required permissions are displayed. Review the permissions and click Accept. The IBM Storage Protect for Cloud app is generated in My apps on Microsoft 365. You can click the app to access IBM Storage Protect for Cloud within Microsoft 365. The app will remember your credentials when you sign in through it.

    Note: If your Microsoft 365 account does not exist, but your tenant exists in IBM Storage Protect for Cloud, the Join IBM Storage Protect for Cloud page will appear.
