About Microsoft 365 Document Integration
The Microsoft 365 Integration app integrates the document management features of Microsoft 365 SharePoint so that you can create, store, and find your documents within SuperOffice, and enjoy the benefits of both SuperOffice and Microsoft 365 services all in one place.
Note
The Microsoft 365 Cloud Office document integration is deprecated and no longer available in the SuperOffice App Store. Please have a look at SharePoint Documents.
Simply sign in to SuperOffice using your Microsoft 365 login details and then open, edit and store documents in Microsoft 365 SharePoint directly from SuperOffice.
Note
Microsoft has changed their product name Office 365 to Microsoft 365.

If you do not require Microsoft 365 SharePoint’s document management features, and only wish for using Microsoft 365 for login purposes (federated login or Multi-factor authentication (MFA/2FA)) you don't need this document integration.

Component overview
The integration consists of these main components:
- SuperOffice CRM Online
- SuperOffice Federation Gateway (
http://superid.superoffice.com/) - Microsoft 365 subscription
- Microsoft 365 SharePoint
- SuperOffice SharePoint App (SharePoint add-in) (our app acts as an add-in in SharePoint to be able to upload and download files in the cloud, and to authenticate users)
The authorization process will grant rights to an app registered with Microsoft 365 SharePoint called SuperOffice SharePoint App. The SuperOffice Federation Gateway handles secure communication between SuperOffice SharePoint App located in Microsoft 365 SharePoint, SuperOffice Online, and other parties (like SuperOffice MailLink).
Step 1 is needed for setting up SharePoint to be able to use SharePoint’s document management features so that you can create, store, and find your documents within SuperOffice, and enjoy the benefits of both SuperOffice and Microsoft 365 services all in one place. The site collection created within this step will also be used for adding the SuperOffice SharePoint app.
- If this is not a service you plan to use - you may skip step 1.7. ("template" folders and read access of root folder is enough).
Step 2 is needed for creating new blank documents, spreadsheets, and presentations in SuperOffice CRM Admin's Add template > Create a new template (from a SharePoint template).
- If this is not a service you plan to use - you may skip it, and skip the SharePoint settings to allow user to run custom scripts - since you do not need to create new content types.
Step 3 is needed for the authentication of users and is the basis for enabling the other services.
Step 4 is needed for enabling your SuperOffice tenant to store templates and documents in SharePoint.
