First Steps Setting Up SharePoint Import Integration

This article is intended to assist with the setup of Azure Graph API for Chime v5 SharePoint Importer feature.

As part of this setup, we will need to do the following steps to have this feature fully configured:

  1. Add the SharePoint (Site) Application Permission onto your Chime App Registration and have it approved by an Azure Admin.

  2. Setup the SharePoint Importer Setting in Chime Admin area.

  3. Have an Azure Admin consent to the application changes that were made.

Important Roles

As part of this setup and configuration process, a tenant administrator for the Microsoft Office 365 tenant will need to perform several actions in order to provide the necessary authorization for the SharePoint connector.

  • Azure Admin with permissions to grant consent on App Registration Permission updates

  • Chime Admin

App Registration

From the app registration, save the following values:

  • The application ID (referred to as Object ID on the Microsoft Entra admin center) assigned by the app registration portal

  • A client secret (application password)
