Note on third‑party tools

              

We aim to provide accurate and helpful details about third‑party tools, but we can’t guarantee that this information is always complete or up to date. If you notice any discrepancies, feel free to share them in the feedback section below. For the most reliable information, please always refer to the third‑party tool’s official documentation.

[Microsoft Project](https://project.microsoft.com/en-US/) is a project management software product, developed and sold by Microsoft. This component allows you to interact with your projects, tasks, and assignments by making queries to reporting data from a Project Web App instance.

## Connections

### OAuth 2.0

OAuth 2.0 Connectivity for Microsoft Project

To create an new Microsoft Project App Registration:

1. Navigate to the [Microsoft Entra](https://entra.microsoft.com/) **Identity** > **Applications** > **App registrations** and select **New registration**.

- Set the Supported Account types to **Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant)** so that users outside of your organization (i.e. your customers) can authenticate.
- Set the Redirect URI dropdown as a "Web" platform. In that section add the OAuth callback URL `https://oauth2.flowbuilder.eu.lansweeper.com/callback` for EU sites or `https://oauth2.flowbuilder.us.lansweeper.com/callback` for US sites - as a **Redirect URI**.
- Select Register to complete.

1. From the App menu navigate to **Certificates & Secrets** for the app and add a new **Client Secret**. Save the **Value** for the **Client Secret** in the connection configuration.
2. Navigate to the **Overview** page save the value listed as the **Application (client) ID**. This will be your **Client ID** for the connection configuration.
3. Navigate to **API Permissions** and select **Add Permission**, select the square labeled **Sharepoint**, and then **Delegated permissions**. Under the **Project** section select **Project.Read, Project.Write** in addition to any other permissions that will be required by your integration. You can use `ProjectWebApp.FullControl` to get started building and choose a more refined set at a later time.
4. Finally, to retrieve the **Project Web App Site** value (also referred to as the **PWA site**). This can be found by navigating to [Microsoft Project 365](https://project.microsoft.com/), clicking the gear settings icon in the top right, and clicking on "PWA Site". You will need to copy the value from the `https://` protocol through to the first slash (do *not* include the trailing slash or the path portion).
5. Additionally, Depending on your PWA site's configuration, user's attempting to authenticate may need to be added as members of the site before authentication.

To configure the OAuth 2.0 connection:

1. Add an MS Project OAuth 2.0 connection config var:

- Use the **Application (client) ID** value for the **Client ID** field.
- Use the **Client Secret** for the same named field.
- Use the default **Authorize URL**.
- Replace `<pwaSite>` in the **Token URL** with the **PWA Site** value.
- Use the same **PWA Site** value for that field.

Save your integration and you should be able to authenticate a user through MS Project Online with Auth 2.0.

#### App Verification and Admin Consent

Microsoft requires Azure AD app registrations used in multi-tenant deployments to complete a publisher verification process. This review confirms the app developer's identity, giving end users confidence that they are authorizing a legitimate, verified application.

Azure AD app registrations have two distinct verification concepts that affect how users experience the authentication flow.

#### Publisher Verification

**Complete publisher verification before deploying to end users.** Without it, the Microsoft consent screen displays **"Unverified"** next to the app name. This reduces user trust and may prevent users in organizations with strict Azure AD policies from being able to authorize the app at all.

To verify the publisher:

1. Ensure the organization has a [Microsoft Partner Network (MPN) account](https://partner.microsoft.com/)
2. In the [Microsoft Entra Admin Center](https://entra.microsoft.com/), open the app registration
3. Under **Branding & properties**, click **Add a verified publisher**
4. Enter the MPN ID and confirm

Once verified, the consent screen displays the organization name with a verified badge instead of "Unverified."

#### Admin Consent

Apps requesting **application permissions** (permissions that act without a signed-in user) or high-privilege **delegated permissions** require admin consent before any user in a Microsoft 365 tenant can authenticate. Without admin consent, users see a **"Need admin approval"** error.

A tenant administrator can grant consent using either method:

**Method 1 — Admin Consent URL:**

Navigate to the following URL, replacing `{tenant}` with the Directory tenant ID and `{client_id}` with the Application client ID:

```
https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/adminconsent?client_id={client_id}
```

**Method 2 — Microsoft Entra Admin Center:**

1. Navigate to [Microsoft Entra Admin Center](https://entra.microsoft.com/) → **Enterprise applications**
2. Select the app registration
3. Under **Permissions**, click **Grant admin consent for [organization name]**

              Delegated vs. Application Permissions

              

Delegated permissions (user-level) typically do not require admin consent unless they are classified as high privilege. Application permissions always require admin consent. Review the [Microsoft Graph permissions reference](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/permissions-reference) to identify which permissions require consent.

This connection uses OAuth 2.0, a common authentication mechanism for integrations. Read about how OAuth 2.0 works [here](/docs/oauth-20-connections).
