Microsoft 365
The Microsoft 365 connector provides shared authentication and identity crawling for SharePoint and OneDrive. Set up Microsoft 365 first, then configure SharePoint and OneDrive as child connectors that inherit the parent credentials.
This setup flow currently applies to SharePoint and OneDrive only. Outlook and Teams are not part of this setup and continue to be configured separately.
How it works
You register one app in Microsoft Entra ID. This app handles identity crawling for your Microsoft 365 tenant and provides credentials that SharePoint and OneDrive inherit automatically — there is no separate app registration for each child connector.
After saving the Microsoft 365 suite, configure SharePoint and OneDrive as child connectors. Each inherits the parent credentials and only requires child-specific configuration.
Child connectors
| Connector | What it indexes | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| SharePoint | Sites, pages, document libraries, files, and lists | SharePoint setup |
| OneDrive | Personal drives and shared files | OneDrive setup |
Permissions
One Glean application in Microsoft Entra ID serves the whole suite. The parent connector handles identity permissions. Child connectors add their content permissions to the same app. See Request all suite permissions upfront for the complete list, and Set up Microsoft 365 for the full setup walkthrough.
