Setup

Create or sign into your Microsoft 365 account

To integrate with Microsoft Office 365, you'll need to sign in using an educational or enterprise account that has Global Administrator permissions on the tenant.

Connect your Microsoft 365 tenant to Hyphen

Sign in with your Microsoft 365 administrator account
Grant the required admin consent for the application
Select the Microsoft 365 tenant you wish to connect

That's it! After you've completed these steps, Hyphen will automatically:

Verify the credentials and selected tenant
Grant necessary permissions to the Hyphen service

Required Admin Consent Permissions

During the authentication process, Hyphen will request the following permissions:

Application.ReadWrite.All
User.Read
AppRoleAssignment.ReadWrite.All
CrossTenantInformation.ReadBasic.All

These permissions are required to:

Create the Hyphen service principal
Assign application roles to the service principal
Read tenant and organizational information

Microsoft Graph API Permissions Granted by Hyphen

Once the user is authenticated, Hyphen will automatically create a service principal in your tenant and consent the following Microsoft Graph permissions on your behalf:

Directory.Read.All
Group.ReadWrite.All
User.Read.All
Channel.Create
ChannelMember.ReadWrite.All
ChannelSettings.Read.All
Team.ReadBasic.All

These permissions are necessary to:
