Overview
Nova is a modular solution. There are two types of service accounts that have different requirements for the process to run smoothly, and it’s recommended that each module has a separate service account.
Details
To easily spot that an account is used by Nova, the service account should be named the same way.
We recommend that you should use the name of product followed by module NovaReporting or NovaDPC.
NovaReporting
This is for a service account to fetch data for the Reporting module. It needs to read data from the O365 tenant only.
Details on how to assign appropriate roles is detailed in this KB.
NovaDPC
This is for a service account for the Management (DPC – Delegation & Policy Control) module to manage tenant data.
Details with requirements for this service account are detailed in this KB.
Note
The service account names featured here are just recommendations. If a customer has a different naming policy, they should follow that policy instead.
Examples
NovaReporting@myTenant.myTopDomain
NovaDPC@myTenant.myTopDomain
