Pre-requisites to Setup : Microsoft SharePoint

In order to pull data from Microsoft SharePoint, you will need to create a Service Principal by granting admin access.

Create the Service Principal by Granting Admin Consent

  1. Log in to Azure Portal with an account that has Global Admin or Application Admin rights.

  2. Go to: Azure Active Directory → Enterprise applications.

  3. Search for the DataChannel app using its App ID: 21c35900-ef23-4d5d-8ace-6a99a25a4f53

  4. If you don’t find it listed:

    • Go to App registrations → search for the same App ID.

    • Once located, open the app → go to Permissions (under Security) → click Grant admin consent for <Your Organization>.
