Dataset Management

The Microsoft Entra SaaS connector uses datasets to aggregate machine identities into Identity Security Cloud for governance. Each dataset groups one or more resources that are collected together during dataset aggregation.

Important
The connector determines how resources are grouped into datasets. You can enable or disable aggregation and view the resources inside each dataset, but you can't create, delete, or rearrange datasets, or move resources between datasets.

To manage and govern machine identities from your Microsoft Entra SaaS source, follow this sequence:

1. Configure Owner Correlation

   Define the mapping rules on each resource schema first. This ensures that when machine identities are aggregated, they are immediately linked to the correct human owners.

   Note
   If owner correlation is not configured, or if the mapping produces no match, the machine identity remains unassigned.

   For more information, refer to [Configuring Owner Correlation SaaS guide link].

2. Configure and Run Dataset Aggregation

   Enable and trigger aggregation for each dataset to discover and collect machine identities from the source. During aggregation, Identity Security Cloud automatically applies your owner correlation rules to link machine identities to their human owners.

   Note
   You need to configure aggregation for each dataset separately.
