Accessing all functionality requires global authorization
The Xakia Outlook O365 Add-In provides you with powerful functionality to create and manage matters and to file and store emails and documents to your document repository in Xakia or SharePoint.
To provide this functionality, the Xakia O365 Outlook Add-In uses a delegated authentication mechanism when accessing email and attachment content from the logged in users’ inbox. This delegated authentication approach is ideal in that it only grants Xakia permission to the inboxes that belong to the authenticated users.
How to pre-authorise the new Xakia O365 Outlook Add-in:
In the Azure portal log in as a user with Global Administrator privileges
Open ‘Microsoft Entra’
Select ‘Enterprise Applications’
Use the search box to locate the app called ‘Xakia O365 Outlook Add-In’ and select it. If the app called ‘Xakia O365 Outlook Add-In’ isn’t shown in the ‘Enterprise Applications’ for your tenant, you can use this link to add it. (This is a Microsoft domain. This will prompt you to log in with credentials of a Global Administrator in your Entra/Azure instance)
Click on the ‘Permissions’ menu item
Click the large blue button labelled ‘Grant admin consent for <your organization>’
Why do we need read permissions? The read permission is required to file email data to Xakia.
Why do we need write permissions? The write permission is required to add filing metadata such as categories to emails.
Important: The Xakia O365 Outlook Add-In does not create or send emails on a user’s behalf.
