EaseLog runs in the browser. There is nothing to install. What you need depends on whether you are signing in as a user, or connecting an environment as an administrator.
To sign in
You need two things:
- An EaseLog account. Accounts are created by invitation. See Inviting a User.
- A Microsoft work account. Sign in goes through your organisation's Microsoft account, so there is no EaseLog password. See Signing In.
What happens on the first sign in
- Select Sign in with Microsoft.
- If Microsoft shows Pick an account, choose your work account.
Figure 1. The Pick an account step during sign in.
The first time you sign in, Microsoft asks you to approve what EaseLog can do, in a dialog titled Permissions requested. The application shown is EaseLog | Audit Log Offloading for Dataverse, published by EaseApp Corp with a verified publisher badge.
Figure 2. The Permissions requested dialog on first sign in.
EaseLog asks for two permissions: to view your basic profile, and to maintain access to data you have given it access to. Select Accept to continue. EaseLog never sees your password, which stays with Microsoft.
To connect an environment
Connecting is administrator work, and it needs three values from an app registration in your organisation's Microsoft Entra tenant. Your Azure administrator creates the registration and provides:
FieldWhat it identifiesTenant IDYour Azure tenant.Client IDAn application registration that EaseLog authenticates as.Client SecretThe secret belonging to that registration.The Connect to Environment wizard cannot continue past step 1 without all three. See Before You Connect: What You Need from Azure.
Auditing must be enabled in Dynamics 365
EaseLog collects audit data. It does not create it. If auditing is off for an entity, no audit records exist for it, and connecting EaseLog does not produce them retrospectively. Auditing you enable today starts recording today. You can turn auditing on for a field from inside EaseLog. See Enabling Auditing on a Field.
Plan capacity
Check you have an environment slot free and enough storage. Both are shown under Plan Details in the account menu. See Plan Details and Usage Limits.
About the client secret
Client secrets expire. When one lapses, the sync stops until it is replaced. Note the expiry date when the secret is created and set a reminder ahead of it. See Editing a Connection.
