2. Under the left **Manage** menu, select **App registrations**, and then select **+ New registration**.

11. Expand **Reports** and select **Reports.Read.All**. Expand **User** and select **User.Read.All**. Then select **Add Permissions**.

> [!NOTE]
> **NOTE**: You need to give permissions for **Reports.Read.All** because SysTrack uses the Microsoft Graph API reports to pull the data and permissions for **User.Read.All**. This is necessary to clean up data, because your reports could still have data from people who no longer work at your company and no longer exist in O365 as users.
