Admin Deletion and Integration Connection in Phin Security
In Phin Security, Microsoft integrations remain functional even if the admin who initially connected them is deleted or removed, because the integration relies on Phin's enterprise app consented to within the tenant, not on the continued presence of the individual admin account.
Scenarios Related to Admin Deletion and Integration Connections
Scenario 1
An admin of Phin is not an administrator for one of their customer's Microsoft tenants. If they were given temporary access to their customer's Microsoft admin account, added the Microsoft integrations in Phin, and then were removed as an admin in their Microsoft tenant, will the integrations stay/be unaffected?
Answer: The integration will continue to work if the admin is deleted.
Scenario 2
If a co-managed admin connects Phin's Microsoft integrations, and then is removed as a co-managed admin in Phin, do the connections stay?
Answer: Yes, the integration will continue to work if they are a co-managed admin as long as they have the "Global Administrator" role.
When the admin connects one of the Microsoft integrations, they are actually consenting for Phin Security to connect its own enterprise app into their tenant. Once this access is granted, the app is what allows Phin Security to connect to the tenant, regardless of whether the admin exists or not.
