+1Is the permission Reports.Read.All required for the Exchange Online backup?
Permission is not in this list:
ttps://documentation.commvault.com/11.44/software/application_permissions_for_azure_app_for_exchange_online.html
Permission is listed here:
https://documentation.commvault.com/11.44/software/request_and_grant_permissions_to_azure_apis_for_azure_app_for_exchange_online.html
So should it be added or not? What happens if it is not added? What is it used for?

Hi,
Thanks for having this raised. As the name of the permission implies, not having this permission configured will result in the inability to read service usage and reporting data via the Graph API.
There is most likely delineation here between backup and restore requirements, and tertiary functionality. The first document states that the listed permissions “are required for Exchange Online backup and restore operations”. Whereas the second document instructs, we have further capabilities that users may wish to take advantage of such as reporting.
With this in mind, I would highly recommend configuring this permission as stated for reporting features to be available through the API set.
