A connection is how you grant SkySync access to the content in your Microsoft Teams account. You will provide the connection information required for SkySync to connect to the platform/server. This grants SkySync access to the account so it can scan and analyze the content based on the policies you create.

Info

You must use an admin account with the proper privileges to manage Microsoft Teams configurations.

Creating a Connection

  1. Select Content from the main menu.

  2. Verify you are on the Connections tab.

  3. Select Add connection.

  4. Select Microsoft Teams as the platform on the Add connection modal.

  6. Select Sign in with Microsoft Teams.

  7. Enter the email for the account being used to create the connection and click Next.

  8. Enter the password for the account and select Sign in.

Field

Description

Required

Display as

Enter the display name for the connection. If you will be creating multiple connections, ensure the name readily identifies the connection. The name displays in the application, and you can use it to search for the connection and filter lists.

If you do not add a display name, the connection will automatically be named using the URL. For example, Microsoft Teams (https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/). If it will be useful for you to reference the connection by account, you should use the default name.

Optional

Graph API endpoint

This setting is rare for most Microsoft connections and can be left blank. If needed, this value will be provided by your administrator.

Optional

Token endpoint

This setting is rare for most Microsoft connections and can be left blank. If needed, this value will be provided by your administrator.

Optional

URL

Enter the URL of your Microsoft Teams account. 

You can find the URL by

  1. Logging into Microsoft Teams through a Web browser using the account you want to use to create the connection (teams.microsoft.com).

  2. Select Teams from the menu on the left side of the screen.

  3. Select the team you wish to connect to and select Files.

  4. In the top toolbar utility, select Open in SharePoint. The URL in the address bar is the URL you need to use. It will look something like "https://mycompany-my.sharepoint.com/personal," where mycompany will be the site name of your company.

  5. Paste the URL from your desired root into the SkySync Application.
