Prerequisites

Administrator roles, PowerShell modules and a one-time Exchange Online preparation step.

Administrator roles

TaskMinimum role
Approve the Clad applicationGlobal Administrator or Privileged Role Administrator
Create the mail access group and scope mail accessExchange Administrator (or the Organization Management role group)
Configure employee sign-inCloud Application Administrator or Application Administrator
Grant SharePoint sitesSharePoint Administrator, once a Global or Privileged Role Administrator has consented to Sites.FullControl.All for Microsoft Graph PowerShell

PowerShell modules

Install the modules once on the machine you will run the setup commands from. The Microsoft Graph module is only needed for SharePoint.

Install-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement -Scope CurrentUser
Install-Module Microsoft.Graph.Sites -Scope CurrentUser

Prepare Exchange Online

Some tenants must enable organization customization once before custom management scopes can be created. The command below only runs it if your tenant needs it, and is safe to run either way.

Connect-ExchangeOnline
if ((Get-OrganizationConfig).IsDehydrated) {
  Enable-OrganizationCustomization
}

Run this the day before

When customization is enabled, it can take up to an hour before Exchange accepts the management scope created in the Email setup. Running it a day ahead avoids waiting mid-setup.
