How to grant MS365 Permissions

  • Only users setup as Company admin have access as this is in Admin Console.

  • The MS365 setup is one time and should only take around 5 mins however, to grant MS365 permissions only MS365 administrators will be able to complete integration between Proteus and MS365.

  • Navigate to Microsoft 365 Integration and replace xxxxxx by the name of your instance

  • Select ‘Give Admin Consent’ button.

  • You will be redirected to MS365 login. Login into your company's MS365 account.

  • Once logged in you will see MS365 permission that Proteus is requesting page. Approve Proteus requested permission.

  • You will be redirected back to ProteusMS 365 IDs will now appear on MS365 page - showing successfully connected.

  • Select Default Group Owner

  • This user is assigned as the owner of the root MS 365 Group, and will be used only when the Proteus user who creates a proposal (etc) is not linked to a MS user. We recommend a Company Admin user for this purpose with access to both Proteus and MS365 PROTEUS-ROOT.

  • Select Finish Setup button. This will now populate the templates folders in Files.

  • Select Deactivate integration to reset this process if required.

How to grant consent to the File Portal

  • This is a one-time consent for your personal user account's Proteus-MS365 integration. Depending on your MS365 password policy you may need to grant consent again at a later stage or you can setup Single Sign On (SSO) for your MS365 company account and users.

  • Select ‘Files’ via the blue menu bar on the left of the screen

  • Select ‘Login’ button and enter MS credentials.
