Microsoft SharePoint

Load data from Microsoft SharePoint

Authentication Setup

To connect to SharePoint, you'll need to set up authentication using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD):

1. Create an App Registration in Microsoft Entra ID (Microsoft Documentation)

2. Configure the following Microsoft Graph API Permissions for your app:

   • Sites.ReadAll (Application Permission) - Required to read items in all site collections
   • Files.ReadAll (Application Permission) - Required to read all files that app has access to
   • BrowserSiteLists.Read.All (Application Permission) - Required to read all SharePoint lists

3. Grant admin consent for each permission in the Azure Portal

4. Note down the following values which will be needed for configuration:

   • Client ID (Application ID)
   • Client Secret (generate in Certificates & Secrets)
   • Tenant ID (Directory ID)

For more details on Microsoft Graph APIs and permissions, see the Microsoft Graph documentation.
