The MS +Graph Rest API also allows authorized users to connect and build new +applications that deliver value to users within and outside the organization. +The OpenFn Adaptor for MS Graph allows users to seamlessly authenticate and +integrate with the Microsoft 365 platform to access data or perform specific +workflow-driven operations on behalf of a tenant or a user within the Microsoft +365 instance. For example, the MSgraph Adaptor allows users to build OpenFn +Workflows to extract documents stored in SharePoint, create or update files, and +manage permissions. Another use case is building a workflow to connect with a +Microsoft user's emails, calendar, and contacts to read and manage specific +information directly. + +### Authentication and Authorization + +This adaptor requires OAuth authorization to connect with the MS Graph. This +authorization can be achieved by a user or organization admin consenting to an +OAuth client to access resources. Users can request authorization via the +default OpenFn Microsoft OAuth client or choose to Add new (generic) OAuth +client(s) for their account and projects. To authorize MS Graph for your OpenFn +workflows read our documentation on +[using OAuth credentials](/documentation/build/credentials#use-oauth2-credentials). + +:::info + +Setting up your own generic OAuth client requires that you have an OAuth +application set up. Please refer to Microsoft's documentation to +[configure an OAuth App](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/saas-apps/openidoauth-tutorial) +via Microsoft entra app gallery. + +::: + +#### Permissions (Scopes) + +Permissions and access in an OAuth instance are defined by scopes which are +named differently by providers based on their functions within their platform. +For MS Graph, there are two types of scopes: Delegated permission and +Application Scopes. Delegated permissions are used by applications that sign in +a user and act on behalf of the signed-in user. These permissions require the +user to consent and are subject to the same data access restrictions as the user +within the organization. Application scopes, on the other hand, are used by +applications that run without a signed-in user. They require admin consent and +provide access to all data for an organization, typically used by background +services or daemons. OpenFn workflows and generic OAuth setup are compatible +with both the delegated and application scopes. Below is a list of commonly used +OAuth MS Scopes for your reference. **The scopes required will depend on your +use case, so please refer to the MS Graph documentation on +[OAuth Scopes](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/scopes-oidc)), +and/or consult with your system administrator.** + +1. _User scopes_: + - `User.Read` (Read user profile) + - `User.ReadBasic.All` (Read basic user profile) + - `User.ReadWrite` (Read and write user profile) + - `User.ManageIdentities.All` (Manage user identities) +2. _Mail scopes_: + - `Mail.Read` (Read mail) + - `Mail.ReadBasic` (Read basic mail) + - `Mail.ReadWrite` (Read and write mail) + - `Mail.Send` (Send mail) +3. _Calendar scopes_: + - `Calendars.Read` (Read calendars) + - `Calendars.ReadWrite` (Read and write calendars) +4. _Contacts scopes_: + - `Contacts.Read` (Read contacts) + - `Contacts.ReadWrite` (Read and write contacts) +5. _Files scopes_: + - `Files.Read` (Read files) + - `Files.ReadWrite` (Read and write files) + - `Files.Read.All` (Read all files) + - `Files.ReadWrite.All` (Read and write all files) +6. _Groups scopes_: + - `Groups.Read.All` (Read all groups) + - `Groups.ReadWrite.All` (Read and write all groups) +7. _Directory scopes_: + - `Directory.Read.All` (Read directory) + - `Directory.ReadWrite.All` (Read and write directory) +8. _Application scopes_: + - `Application.Read.All` (Read applications) + - `Application.ReadWrite.All` (Read and write applications) +9. _Other scopes_: + - `offline_access` (Access resources even when the user is offline) + - `openid` (Authenticate with OpenID Connect) + +### Helpful links + +- [MS Graph Overview](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/overview) +- [MS Graph OAuth Scopes](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/scopes-oidc)
