Why Permissions Matter

Some FusePoint web parts and extensions require additional Microsoft Graph API permissions in order to function correctly. These permissions must be granted by a SharePoint Administrator via the Admin Center.

If the necessary consent is missing, the web part will display an error message:

“The web part requires additional consent from /_layouts/15/online/AdminHome.aspx#/webApiPermissionManagement. Please inform the SharePoint administrator(s).”

Web Parts & Extensions Requiring Permissions

Calendar

Permissions required: Calendars.Read, Calendars.Read.Shared

Why: Enables reading events from user calendars and shared calendars, including mailbox calendars.

Document Tagging Button Configuration

Permissions required: Sites.Read.All

Why: Allows access to site collections to tag and manage documents consistently across SharePoint.

Restricted Content

Permissions required: User.Read.All

Why: Grants access to user profile information needed to enforce content visibility rules.

FusePoint Settings

Permissions required: Group.Read.All

Why: Provides access to Microsoft 365 groups for configuration and settings management.

Why: Reads organizational user information to build and display the company org chart.

Teams Channels

Permissions required: Team.ReadBasic.All, Channel.ReadBasic.All

Why: Reads team and channel information from Microsoft Teams to integrate with SharePoint pages.

Testing & Troubleshooting

When testing or troubleshooting permission-related issues, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the SharePoint Admin Center and revoke a required permission.
2. Clear the Graph token from your browser’s local storage.
3. Refresh the page — you should now see the error message indicating missing consent.
4. Restore the revoked permission and repeat the steps if needed.

This ensures admins can verify that error handling is working correctly.

Summary

• Not all FusePoint web parts need Graph API permissions, but the ones listed above do.
• Without the correct permissions, the web parts will display an error until the SharePoint Administrator grants consent.
• Documentation has been updated so admins know what to configure before rollout.

By ensuring these permissions are set up, admins guarantee a seamless experience for all FusePoint users.
