- Membership in a role group in [Email & collaboration permissions](/defender-office-365/mdo-portal-permissions) with the **Search and Purge** role assigned. By default, this role is assigned only to the **Data Investigator** and **Organization Management** role groups in Email & collaboration permissions. You can add users to those role groups, or you can [create a new role group in Email & collaboration permissions](/defender-office-365/mdo-portal-permissions#create-email--collaboration-role-groups-in-the-microsoft-defender-portal) with the **Search and Purge** role assigned, and add the users to the custom role group.
