# SharePoint Online via Delegate Access

### Introduction

Connecting to SharePoint online is fast to set up and fully supported in Movebot. Movebot uses the Microsoft Graph API, which is the recommended method for connecting to SharePoint and OneDrive.

There are two different authentication methods available with SharePoint Online, **Delegate Access** or **Application Access**. The Movebot team recommends you use the default Delegate Access method, as it's simpler to configure and supports Ludicrous mode. 

Configuring Delegate access involves a standard OAuth login, and Application Access requires creating a custom application in your Azure Domain.

To use Application Access see [SharePoint Online](/connections/sharepoint-online.md)
{% endhint %}

### Recommendations

For best results when connecting to SharePoint Online in Movebot using Delegate Access, we recommend the following permissions:

* A Global Administrator service account in Azure
* The Global Administrator account is licensed
* The Global Administrator account has access to the sites you are migrating
* You have the SharePoint domain/hostname on hand
* You have access to all OneDrives you need to migrate
  * For information on granting OneDrive access, see [Granting OneDrive Access](/platform-guides/sharepoint/granting-onedrive-access.md). 

The minimum permissions required for migrations is the Application Administrator role.  If you are unable to connect as a Global Administrator or Application Administrator, you can [connect to SharePoint via Azure Application](/connections/other-connectors/sharepoint-via-application-access.md). 

### Configuration Steps

1. When configuring a new connection, select **Sharepoint/Onedrive** from the list of available connection types and give the connection a name. 
2. Provide your SharePoint domain/hostname in the field required
3. Click **Connect to Sharepoint** and authorize the connection through the popup window. You will be required to log in to SharePoint with your Global Admin service account
4.  Click Save and Test connection in Movebot

### Supported Features

Movebot has comprehensive support for SharePoint and is well-maintained.
