LeftClick supports the Microsoft Graph API to interact with Microsoft 365. This API supports Modern Authentication and is the recommended way for (external) applications to access Microsoft 365. LeftClick Web Services provides four applications that can be authorized to access specific data on your Microsoft 365 tenant:
To be able to use these applications on our products:
If no provider is connected for a specific application when a user tries to create a slide for this application in the LWS portal, the portal will redirect the user to right page.
Note: We recommend that your IT department/Microsoft 365 administrator adds consent in advance for the applications that are going to be used on behalf of your organization as described below. This prevents admin consent being asked every time you try to connect a provider, temporarily blocking you in what they are trying to do.
First, you need to login to the LWS portal in order to be able to connect. Then:
Once this connection process is completed (you need to accept the LeftClick Web Services application to access the correct account), you can create slides that use Microsoft 365 (such as RoomGuide) onto your LeftClick device.
Note: If you cannot find the relevant provider, it might be that it is already connected! If the wrong account was linked or you want to redo this, simple remove the login by pressing the 🗑-icon on the right side and follow the steps above.
If you try to connect a provider, it might be your organization configured it such that this requires admin consent first. To prevent having to ask for consent each time you connect a provider, it is possible for your IT department/Microsoft 365 administrator to consent in advance to access by the LeftClick Web Service applications.
To accomplish this, follow the steps in the Azure documentation and for step (4) search for the relevant “LeftClick Web Services - …” application.
