Which of the two setups applies to your deployment, and how they compare.
New setup
You're on a new Glean deployment, created on or after August 14, 2026. Connect SharePoint, set up indexing, and review the setup in the Admin console, with no app registration to prepare in Microsoft.
Previous setup
You're on an existing Glean deployment. Configure the indexing connector through the Microsoft 365 parent app registration.

Read and write tools
Let Glean act in SharePoint on a user's behalf, scoped to that user's own permissions. Available upon connecting on the new setup, and set up separately on the previous setup.
Crawling restrictions
Control which SharePoint content Glean crawls using greenlists, redlists, and draft exclusions.
