Please confirm:

  • I have searched existing feature requests (open and closed) and found no duplicates.
  • **me or my organization is currently an active sponsor of the product at the $99,- level.

Problem Statement

Currently, for every tenant we configure alert policies in the security center -> Email and collaboration -> Alert Policies by hand. There are 42 policies which means per tenant we open 42 policies and set an e-mail recipient. This is (a) quite some effort and (b) unmanaged as changes need to be manually tracked or new policies updated. I could think of:

  • Management of the policies through CIPP
  • Disable all policies through CIPP and get them alerts by CIPP-Alerts. Afaik they are based on the unified audit log.

If it is not possible to do so, a doable workaround on our side would be to leave them as is (default alert to TenantAdmins) and set the alternate mail address of our admin (or breakglass) to managedTenant@... and unmanagedTenant@ and filter on the ticketing system side. This would affect all notifications though.

Benefits for MSPs

If CIPP were to allow us to configure these policies this would greatly reduce manual effort and increase quality. CIPP would have another great feature to tighten the customer relationship.

Value or Importance

Not critical as we have an existing workflow and a potential workaround but a strong nice-to-have due to the reasons stated above.

PowerShell Commands (Optional)

If I recall correctly this is not possible by any other methods than the GUI, sorry.

Looked at this a couple of weeks ago, and I can sadly confirm that it's not possible through any other means than the GUI :(

Thanks for confirming - we were on the hunt for this too. Hopefully Microsoft creates these api endpoints in the future
