Synced resource types
- Users: Spanning users from the tenant, mapped as C1 users. Each user carries its principal name, email, display name, Microsoft object id, license assignment, and admin status.
- Roles: A fixed set of seven Spanning role tiers — User, Shared Mailbox, Global Admin, Spanning Admin, Archived (read-only), No Microsoft License, and Deleted From Microsoft. Each user is granted membership in the roles corresponding to its tags.
Special notes
- The connector authenticates with HTTP Basic Auth. The admin email is the username and the API key is the password.
- The base URL is the region-specific host (
https://o365-api-<region>.spanningbackup.com). The API key is region-scoped, so the base URL must match the account’s region. - Roles are synthesized from each user’s tags. Spanning has no dedicated roles endpoint, so all seven roles are always present and role membership is derived from the tags on each user record.
- User accounts that are deleted or archived in Spanning are marked disabled in C1.
