SharePoint OAuth

Azure OAuth Grooper.Cloud

Implements OAuth 2.0 authentication for connecting Grooper to SharePoint Online (365) using Azure AD.

Remarks

SharePoint OAuth provides an authentication method for accessing SharePoint Online resources from Grooper using stored user credentials.

How It Works

  • At configuration time, a user is asked to sign in to their Microsoft account and grant permission for the Grooper Azure AD Connector application to access their SharePoint resources.
  • The authentication process uses the OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow, where the user is redirected to the Microsoft login page to enter their credentials and consent to the requested permissions.
  • The generated authorization code is then exchanged for an access token and a refresh token, which are securely stored by Grooper for future use.

Configuration Steps

  • If using the default client ID (Grooper Azure AD Connector), ensure that your SharePoint administrator has granted the necessary permissions to the Grooper Azure AD Connector application in Azure AD, and that the required scopes are enabled.
  • If using a custom Azure AD application, register the application in Azure AD, configure the appropriate permissions and scopes, and provide the client ID.

Required Permissions (Scopes)

The following permissions are required for the Azure AD application to access SharePoint Online resources on behalf of the user:

  • Files.ReadWrite.All
  • Sites.ReadWrite.All
  • offline_access
