This article outlines the permissions required to enable the integration between Outlook and Tekst. While these permissions are enabled by default, they may be restricted as organizations implement stricter security policies.
To ensure the integration functions correctly, these permissions must be granted through Azure Active Directory (AAD).
To be able to give Tekst access to a user mailbox the following permissions need to be given:
- user.read
- Allows Tekst to verify the connect user mailbox.
- mailboxsettings.read
- Allows Tekst to update and access the outlook categories.
- mail.readwrite
- These allow Tekst to read and process incoming emails of a mailbox (read part).
- The write part allows Tekst to add e.g. category labels and put emails in folders.
- Tekst will NEVER delete emails.
- mail.send
- This permission allows Tekst to forward emails if configured to do so.
When also connecting shared inboxes these additional permissions need to be given:
- mail.readwrite.shared
- These allow Tekst to read and process incoming emails of a shared mailbox (read part).
- The write part allows Tekst to add e.g. category labels and put emails in folders.
- mail.send.shared
- This permission allows Tekst to forward emails if configured to do so.
This is how this looks during the setup flow
