Permissions
This sign up grants three areas of permissions.
Usage Reports
We use usage report data to populate signals like reads down to a user level. This way you can see the volume of readership by various areas of the business over time.
Active Directory Attributes
A complete user profile is essential to understanding your organizational behavior and analyzing user behavior. At tyGraph we seamlessly integrate Active Directory data into all reports to empower your analysts understand situations like: messages posted by country, OneDrive storage by region, or increasing engagement in certain business units.
Active directory connections are approved by default for tyGraph for SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Enterprise. If you authorized tyGraph for Yammer as a stand-alone product, Active Directory permissions are not granted to us by default.
The following is a list of the default Active Directory attributes that we collect for tyGraph for SharePoint, OneDrive, Enterprise, Pulse, Teams, or Yammer Plus.

SharePoint File Activity
Finally this grants permissions for file activity for files in Yammer connected sites which are stored in SharePoint rather than in the Yammer files system.
Application Overview & Removal
The application which collects this data is independent from Yammer permissions or our Yammer signup process. Once you approve the application (shown on next page) you will see it as “tyGraph for Yammer Plus” in your Enterprise Applications blade in Microsoft Azure.
