Connect Einstein Activity Capture to Microsoft Office 365 using RBAC Authentication
The Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) authentication method is available only for
Microsoft Office 365. The Salesforce admin works with their Azure admin to give Salesforce access
to data in Microsoft Office 365. The connection applies to all users in Salesforce. Users get
access to resources not individually, but through predefined roles defined within an
application.
