SharePoint Online
Learn how to connect to SharePoint online (Office 365)
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 Other Connectors
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.
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.
Configuration Steps
When configuring a new connection, select Sharepoint/Onedrive from the list of available connection types and give the connection a name.
Provide your SharePoint domain/hostname in the field required
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
Click Save and Test connection in Movebot
