SharePoint Online

If you're an Office 365 customer, you can configure the collector service to automatically detect and queue your employees' SharePoint Online sites hosted in Office 365. You must supply an account with Tenant administration rights and set how often the service detects new SharePoint Online sites. You can also provide a filter expression to include certain SharePoint Online paths and exclude others as required.

Optionally, you can set up the resources needed to enable and configure Netwrix Data Classification on the detected SharePoint Online sites. Templating allows an administrator to preconfigure classification settings for site collections. For more information, review the associated templating guide.

To crawl the data within SharePoint Online, you need to enable Multi-Factor Authentication:
