Microsoft credentials

In the Cloud Credentials menu, you can create and manage Microsoft credentials.

Additionally, you can:

  • Add data sources
  • Integrate calendars
  • Access Excel sheets
  • Sync folders from OneDrive into files
This function only works if the Microsoft API is set on your server.

For the Microsoft Entra (formerly Azure AD) side of the setup — registering an application, assigning permissions, creating a client secret and granting admin consent — see Microsoft cloud services.

Create credential

  • Navigate to Settings > Cloud Credentials, then select Microsoft tab.
  • Click on the button next to the Cloud Credentials header.
  • Select Add Microsoft credential option

As a scope, you can select:

Tenant type ⇨
Scope ⇩
Personal AccountWork or School AccountService Principal
Microsoft Calendar
Microsoft Excel
Microsoft List
Microsoft SharePoint News
Microsoft OneDrive
PowerBI
User Active Directory
  • In the appearing modal, set the Name of the new credential, pick the scope (from the table above), and choose the Tenant type (see below).
  • After that, click the Sign in with Microsoft button to authenticate your credential. A Service Principal doesn't sign in interactively — it uses a registered app's Client ID and Client Secret instead.
Which tenant type?

The tenant type is about whose data you're connecting to, not what kind of email the account has:

  • Personal account — connects an individual's own account to reach their personal OneDrive (their own files). This is the individual's personal storage even when the account itself was issued by an organization.
  • Work or School account — connects an organizational (Microsoft Entra) account to reach the organization's shared resources: SharePoint sites, shared drives, Lists, and so on — not one person's private files. A personal Microsoft account is rejected here; it must be an organizational account.
  • Service Principal — non-interactive, app-level access using a registered application's Client ID and Client Secret, for unattended/service scenarios rather than a signed-in user.

Actions on Microsoft credentials

Authenticate credentials

If the authentication fails or becomes detached from the authenticator email, you have to authenticate the credential.
