[!INCLUDE Microsoft Defender XDR rebranding]
To use advanced hunting or other Microsoft Defender XDR capabilities, you need an appropriate role in Microsoft Entra ID. Read about required roles and permissions for advanced hunting.
This advanced hunting table is populated by records from various Microsoft Defender services. If your organization hasn’t deployed the service in Microsoft Defender XDR, queries that use the table aren’t going to work or return any results. For more information about how to deploy services in Defender XDR, read Deploy supported services.
Also, your access to endpoint data is determined by role-based access control (RBAC) settings in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Read about managing access to Microsoft Defender XDR.
The AlertInfo table in the advanced hunting schema contains information about alerts from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Defender for Office 365, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, and Microsoft Defender for Identity. Use this reference to construct queries that return information from this table.
For information on other tables in the advanced hunting schema, see the advanced hunting reference.
