Configure app within M365 Account – Legacy Registration
Note: The app registration has recently changed for some accounts – please refer to this section only if the above description does not match your M365 account.
Using M365 SharePoint as a Gimmal Link Enterprise repository you will need to ensure that the Enterprise Connector is configured and able to connect to the Microsoft graph API. You must create an enterprise application via the Microsoft Azure portal to complete this procedure. This will require an account with appropriate level of permissions to grant correct access rights to a user (connector user) using the graph API when inside the azure portal.
You can either self-grant access or have an admin grant access to the graph API and its corresponding access rules inside the azure portal if and only if that user has authority to grant access to those rules.
The following steps below outline this process:
i. Visit https://portal.azure.com/ then login using an appropriate account.
ii. Click on Azure active directory, then click on app registrations and select new application registration.
iii. Fill in the follow details and then click create.
iv. Click Settings.
v. Click required permissions [Symbol] click add [Symbol] click select an api [Symbol] click "Microsoft graph".
vi. Set appropriate permissions for SharePoint online. But ensure “Create, edit, and delete items and lists in all site collections” is checked.
vii. Click done
viii. Click grant permissions (may have to do this on an admin account if account used does not have appropriate permissions)
ix. Make sure owner is set to the account being used for the connector. Example: [email protected].
x. Click on properties and note down the application id, along with the username, email and password for base configuration of the connector detailed in the step Base Gimmal Link Enterprise Connector Configuration - Gimmal Link ECM only.
xi. Go back to app registrations, then click on endpoints and note down the graph endpoint API url and token url for base configuration of the connector detailed in the step Base Gimmal Link Enterprise Connector Configuration - Gimmal Link ECM only.
