Users

The central entity that ESET Cloud Office Security protects is the user account. Double-click a user to find useful information such as the Overview, Settings defined by Policies, list of Policies assigned to the user, and Detections for Gmail, Google Drive, Exchange Online and OneDrive. You can also choose which users will be Protected or Unprotected. Users are sorted into groups, and each group is an Microsoft 365 tenant containing its users. To make searching for a specific user within a group easier, you can use filtering with multiple criteria.


note

Users without Microsoft 365 license will not be shown in the ESET Cloud Office Security console by default. This includes shared mailboxes without a Microsoft 365 license.

If you want to see and manage all Microsoft 365 users, navigate to Settings and disable Microsoft 365 licensed users.
