Check your existing licenses

Go to Microsoft 365 admin center (admin.microsoft.com) to view your existing licenses. In the admin center, go to Billing > Licenses.

Note

You need to be assigned either the Billing admin or Global reader role in Microsoft Entra ID to be able to see license information. If you encounter access problems, contact a Global Administrator.

Required permissions

You must at least be a security administrator in Microsoft Entra ID to turn on Microsoft Defender XDR. For the list of roles required to use Microsoft Defender XDR and information on how access to data is regulated, read about managing access to Microsoft Defender XDR.

Important

Microsoft recommends that you use roles with the fewest permissions. Using lower permissioned accounts helps improve security for your organization. Global Administrator is a highly privileged role that should be limited to emergency scenarios when you can't use an existing role.

Browser requirements

Access Microsoft Defender XDR in the Microsoft Defender portal using Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer 11, or any HTML 5 compliant web browser.
