Why is usage data missing?

If Substly cannot retrieve usage data from your Entra ID, it is likely due to missing permissions. This may result in:

  • Reduced visibility into usage levels.

  • Fewer users are automatically linked to services.

Cause of the issue

The user who activated the integration does not have the necessary permissions in Entra ID for Substly to read usage data.

How to fix it

To resolve this, the user who activated the integration needs to be assigned one of the following roles in Entra ID:

  • Global Reader

  • Reports Reader

  • Security Administrator

  • Security Operator

  • Security Reader

What happens after the change?

You don't need to do anything else once the user has been assigned one of these roles. Substly will automatically start retrieving usage data.

Alternative solution

If another user already has one of these permissions in Entra ID, you can:

  1. Deactivate the integration.

  2. Re-enable it using the other user.
