OneDrive and SharePoint Authorization Issue

Question

Hi Support Team,

Tried logging into our MS Entra ID as a global admin, then find the calling app and grant admin consent for the Files.ReadWrite.All,offline_access permissions.

I have successfully setup OAuth in my Application and Authorization is working fine for OneDrive accounts. However, I need clarification on whether this setup will also work for SharePoint accounts?

I'm experiencing a critical issue that's impacting our customer. I urgently need your assistance to resolve this matter. Please help me as soon as possible.

Thanks and Regards,

Mageshwari.

Hi Mageshwari SS,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft!

Both OneDrive and SharePoint use the same underlying Microsoft Graph API for authorization and permissions management. As you have setup for OneDrive using OAuth 2.0 should also work for SharePoint account.

Please review the document shared and the permission required for accessing the SharePoint as per the Graph API used: -

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/sharepoint?view=graph-rest-1.0

If you need to access the content of a site, you will need to assign the "Sites.Read.All" permission. Please ensure that the appropriate permissions are assigned based on the tasks you need to perform.

Hope this helps.
