SharePoint API Approval

Minimum permissions: SharePoint Administrator and User Administrator

Compliance Tracker 365 uses the Microsoft Graph API to read user profile properties and group membership. This allows you to assign terms to groups of users based on their profile properties. It is also used to create Excel reports in OneDrive.

If you would like to use these features, follow the steps below to allow Compliance Tracker 365 to access the specific Microsoft Graph API endpoint needed for this functionality. You can still use Compliance Tracker 365 if you do not approve these requests, but you will not be able to use the Profile Import tab of the Management page and the Excel report will not be saved to OneDrive.

This step needs to be performed by a SharePoint Administrator + User Administrator.
