SharePoint via Application Access

Learn how to connect to SharePoint online via Application Access

Introduction

We recommend connecting to SharePoint with Delegate Access if possible as it's simpler to configure and supports Ludicrous mode.

However, if you need to connect with Application Access instead, you can do so by creating a custom application in your Azure Domain.

To see how to connect with Delegate Access, see SharePoint Online

Recommendations

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

• A Global Administrator service account in Azure

• The Global Administrator account is licensed

• You have the SharePoint domain/hostname on hand.

If you are unable to connect as a Global Administrator, contact us for alternative configuration options.
