Microsoft 365 + Steampipe

Microsoft 365 is a suite of cloud-based productivity and collaboration applications that integrates all Microsoft's existing online applications (Outlook, People etc.).

Steampipe is an open source CLI to instantly query cloud APIs using SQL.

For example:

select
  subject,
  online_meeting_url,
  start_time,
  end_time
from
  microsoft365_calendar_event
where
  user_id = 'test@org.onmicrosoft.com'
  and start_time >= current_date
  and end_time <= (current_date + interval '1 day');

+----------------+--------------------------------------+---------------------------+---------------------------+
| subject        | online_meeting_url                   | start_time                | end_time                  |

Get started

Install

Download and install the latest Microsoft 365 plugin:

steampipe plugin install microsoft365

Credentials

Item	Description
Credentials	Use the `az login` command to setup your Default Connection
Permissions	Grant the following permissions to your user: `Calendars.Read` `Files.Read.All` `Group.Read.All` `Mail.Read` `MailboxSettings.Read` `SharePointTenantSettings.Read.All` `Team.ReadBasic.All` `TeamMember.Read.All` `User.Read.All`
Radius	Each connection represents a single Azure Tenant.
Resolution	1. Credentials explicitly set in a steampipe config file (`~/.steampipe/config/microsoft365.spc`). 2. Credentials specified in environment variables e.g. `AZURE_TENANT_ID`.

Configuration

Installing the latest microsoft365 plugin will create a config file (~/.steampipe/config/microsoft365.spc) with a single connection named microsoft365:

connection "microsoft365" {
  plugin = "microsoft365"

  # User's ID or email used with the microsoft365_my_* tables
  # Not required if using Azure CLI authentication
  # user_id = "test@org.domain.com"

  # Defaults to "AZUREPUBLICCLOUD". Valid environments are "AZUREPUBLICCLOUD", "AZURECHINACLOUD" and "AZUREUSGOVERNMENTCLOUD"
  # environment = "AZUREPUBLICCLOUD"

  # You can connect to Azure using one of options below:

  # Use client secret authentication (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/howto-create-service-principal-portal#option-2-create-a-new-application-secret)
  # tenant_id     = "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"
  # client_id     = "YYYYYYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYYYYYYYYYY"
  # client_secret = "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"

  # Use client certificate authentication (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/howto-create-service-principal-portal#option-1-upload-a-certificate)
  # tenant_id             = "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"
  # client_id             = "YYYYYYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYYYYYYYYYY"
  # certificate_path      = "~/home/azure_cert.pem"
  # certificate_password  = "notreal~pwd"

  # Use a managed identity (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview)
  # This method is useful with Azure virtual machines
  # tenant_id  = "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"
  # client_id  = "YYYYYYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYYYYYYYYYY"
  # enable_msi = true
  # msi_endpoint = "http://169.254.169.254/metadata/identity/oauth2/token"

  # If no credentials are specified, the plugin will use Azure CLI authentication
}

By default, all options are commented out in the default connection, thus Steampipe will resolve your credentials using the same order as mentioned in Credentials. This provides a quick way to get started with Steampipe, but you will probably want to customize your experience using configuration options for querying multiple tenants, configuring credentials from your Azure CLI, Client Certificate, etc.

Configuring Microsoft 365 Credentials

The Microsoft 365 plugin support multiple formats and authentication mechanisms, and they are tried in the below order:

Client Secret Credentials if set; otherwise
Client Certificate Credentials if set; otherwise
Azure Managed System Identity (useful with virtual machines) if set; otherwise
If no credentials are supplied, then the az cli credentials are used

Client Secret Credentials

You may specify the tenant ID, client ID, and client secret to authenticate:

tenant_id: Specify the tenant to authenticate with.
client_id: Specify the app client ID to use.
client_secret: Specify the app secret to use.

  connection "microsoft365_via_sp_secret" {
    plugin        = "microsoft365"
    tenant_id     = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
    client_id     = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
    client_secret = "my plaintext password"
  }

Client Certificate Credentials

You may specify the tenant ID, client ID, certificate path, and certificate password to authenticate:

tenant_id: Specify the tenant to authenticate with.
client_id: Specify the app client ID to use.
certificate_path: Specify the certificate path to use.
certificate_password: Specify the certificate password to use.

  connection "microsoft365_via_sp_cert" {
    plugin               = "microsoft365"
    tenant_id            = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
    client_id            = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
    certificate_path     = "path/to/file.pem"
    certificate_password = "my plaintext password"
  }

Azure Managed Identity

Steampipe works with managed identities (formerly known as Managed Service Identity), provided it is running in Azure, e.g., on a VM. All configuration is handled by Azure. See Azure Managed Identities for more details.

enable_msi: Specify true to use managed identity credentials.
tenant_id: Specify the tenant to authenticate with.
client_id: Specify the app client ID of managed identity to use.
msi_endpoint: Specify the MSI endpoint to connect to, otherwise use the default Azure Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) endpoint.

connection "microsoft365_msi" {
  plugin       = "microsoft365"
  tenant_id    = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
  client_id    = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
  enable_msi   = true
  msi_endpoint = "http://169.254.169.254/metadata/identity/oauth2/token"
}

Azure CLI

If no credentials are specified and the SDK environment variables are not set, the plugin will use the active credentials from the az cli. You can run az login to set up these credentials.

connection "microsoft365" {
  plugin = "microsoft365"
}

Credentials from Environment Variables

The Microsoft 365 plugin will use the standard Azure environment variables to obtain credentials only if other arguments (tenant_id, client_id, client_secret, certificate_path, etc..) are not specified in the connection:

export AZURE_TENANT_ID="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
export AZURE_ENVIRONMENT="AZUREPUBLICCLOUD" # Defaults to "AZUREPUBLICCLOUD". Valid environments are "AZUREPUBLICCLOUD", "AZURECHINACLOUD" and "AZUREUSGOVERNMENTCLOUD"
export AZURE_CLIENT_ID="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET="my plaintext secret"
export AZURE_CERTIFICATE_PATH=path/to/file.pem
export AZURE_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD="my plaintext password"

connection "microsoft365" {
  plugin = "microsoft365"
}
