Microsoft Graph API Permissions
Note: WikiPakk requests Microsoft Graph API permissions starting with v2.16.
WikiPakk requests Microsoft Graph API permissions for some features. A Microsoft 365 Global Administrator approves them once, during or after installing WikiPakk.
When WikiPakk is installed or updated, a requested permission shows up as a pending request to approve:
- Open the SharePoint admin center
- Go to Advanced > API access
- Approve the pending request for WikiTraccs WikiPakk
Global Administrator required
Microsoft Graph permissions can only be approved by a Global Administrator. The SharePoint Administrator role is not sufficient for Microsoft APIs. See the Microsoft documentation.WikiPakk keeps working normally before a permission is approved, only the feature that needs it is paused and shows a respective note.
LicenseAssignment.Read.All
Note: WikiPakk requests this permission starting with v2.16.
WikiPakk uses this permission to check that the SharePoint license count and your WikiPakk subscription match in volume.
Reading this information through the Microsoft Graph API is the approach recommended by Microsoft. It is more accurate and reliable than other ways of counting licenses.
What WikiPakk can access with this permission:
- WikiPakk only reads license numbers, it cannot change anything.
- It reads tenant-level totals (how many seats exist and how many are assigned).
- WikiPakk does not read content, and it does not read personal data about your users.
Note: The Table of Contents web part is only available once this permission is approved.
