Migrating from an RMS Account to a MIP Account

For administrators that have provisioned an RMS account, Cloud App Security allows you to migrate to a Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) account for enhanced protection provided that you have one of the following licenses which include a MIP service plan:

  • Microsoft 365 E5/A5/G5/E3/A3/G3/F1/F3/Business Premium

  • Microsoft 365 E5/A5/G5/E3/A3/G3/F1/F3/Business Premium

  • Enterprise Mobility + Security E3/E5

  • Office 365 E5/A5/E3/A3/F3

  • Azure Information Protection Plan 1

  • Azure Information Protection Plan 2

  1. Choose Administration > Service Account.
  2. In the Status column of an RMS account, click Migrate to Microsoft Information Protection Account.

    The Migrate to Microsoft Information Protection Account screen appears.

  3. Provision a Microsoft Information Protection account for Cloud App Security to implement enhanced protection.
    1. Click Click here at the end of Step 1.
    2. On the Microsoft logon screen that appears, specify your Office 365 Global Administrator credentials to sign in.
    3. On the authorization screen that appears, click Accept to grant Cloud App Security the permissions.
  4. Go back to the management console.
  5. Remove the RMS account by specifying the Office 365 Global Administrator credentials used for provisioning the RMS account, and click Verify.
    Note:

    If an authentication error occurs, you can still click Done to only remove the RMS account from Cloud App Security. This does not remove the RMS account from your Office 365 services.

  6. Click Done.

    After the process is completed, the RMS account changes to a MIP account.
