!!!1.1 Application Permission:\\ |
\\ |
Application permissions are used when an application runs without a signed-in user, such as in server-to-server connections.\\ |
\\ |
---- |
!1.1.1 Microsoft Graph Scopes for SharePoint Integration: |
---- |
__a.) Files.ReadWrite.All__: Grants the application read and write access to all files the signed-in user can access, across all user drives and document libraries (including SharePoint sites and OneDrive for Business).\\ |
This includes the ability to:\\ |
• List, read, update, create, and delete files and folders\\ |
• Upload/download documents\\ |
• Modify file metadata\\ |
\\ |
__Configure API Permission__: Navigate to API Permissions. Click on Add a permission button. Select __Microsoft Graph__. Then select __Application Permission__. Search for __Files__ and check the flag Files.ReadWrite.All permission.\\ |
\\ |
[SharePoint Integration/ms_graph_app_permission.png]\\ |
\\ |
---- |
__b.) Sites.FullControl.All__: Grants the application full control over all site collections in the tenant without user interaction. ( More info -> [Microsoft Graph permissions reference |
Link|https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/permissions-reference#sites-permissions])\\ |
\\ |
This permission allows the app to:\\ |
• Read and write all files in all SharePoint Online site collections\\ |
• Manage lists, document libraries, subsites, and site permissions\\ |
• Perform site-level actions across the entire tenant\\ |
\\ |
---- |
__c.) Sites.Selected__: Grants the application no access to SharePoint sites by default. However, you can explicitly grant access to specific sites by using the __Microsoft Graph API__. __⚠️ Important:__ The application must first be registered in Azure AD with the __Sites.Selected__ application permission. More information is available at the following link: [Managing SharePoint Site Access for Applications Using Sites.Selected Permission|CrushTaskExample19].\\ |
\\ |
__Configure API Permission__: Navigate to API Permissions. Click on Add a permission button. Select __Microsoft Graph__. Then select __Application Permission__. Search for __Sites__ and check the flag Sites.Selected permission.\\ |

!!!1.2 Delegated Permission:\\ |
\\ |
Delegated permissions are used when an application makes API calls as the signed-in user. The app is delegated the user’s permissions and can only access resources that the user is authorized to access.\\ |
!1.2.1 Microsoft Graph Scopes for SharePoint Integration:# |

This is the highest level of SharePoint permission available for applications and enables full administrative access to both content and site settings.\\ |
\\ |
Navigate to __API Permissions__. Click on __Add a permission__ button. Select __SharePoint__. Then select __Delegated Permission__. Search for AllSites and check the flag __AllSites.FullControl__.\\ |
\\ |

This includes the ability to read and write content, as well as manage lists and libraries, but not full administrative control (e.g., cannot manage site permissions or site settings).\\ |
\\ |
This permission allows the app to:\\ |
• Access all SharePoint sites in the tenant.\\ |
• Create, read, update, and delete\\ |
• Files and folders\\ |
• Lists and list items\\ |
