# Connector Credential Setup

This section outlines the steps required to create credentials for connectors. Follow the instructions below to generate, configure, and manage credentials for connectors.

### Sharepoint Credential Setup

**1. Register an Application in Azure Active Directory**

1. **Go to Azure Porta**l:
   * Navigate to the **Azure Portal** (<https://portal.azure.com/>).
   * **Register New Application:**
     1. In the Azure Active Directory pane, select **App registrations**.
     2. Click on **New registration** to create a new application.
     3. Provide a name for your application (e.g., "SharePointAPIApp").
     4. Set the **Supported account types** to "Accounts in this organizational directory only" (this is the default option for most cases).
     5. Optionally, you can add a **Redirect URI** (though this is not necessary for the purpose of this integration).
     6. Click **Register**.
2. &#x20;**Obtain the Tenant ID**
   * After registering your application, you'll be taken to the **Overview** page of your newly registered app.
   * Here, you'll find the **Tenant ID** listed under the **Directory** (**tenant**) **ID** section. This is the unique identifier for your Azure AD tenant.
3. **Get the Client ID**

   On the same **Overview** page, you’ll also see the **Application** (**client**) ID. This is the unique identifier for your application in Azure AD. Copy this value; it will be used as your **Client ID**.
4. **Generate the Client Secret**
   * In the left sidebar of the app's page, click on **Certificates & secrets** under **Manage**.
   * Under the **Client secrets** section, click **New client secret**.
   * Add a description (e.g., "SharePoint API Secret") and set an expiration period for the secret (choose from 1 year, 2 years, or never).
   * Click **Add** and your **Client Secret** will be generated.
   * Copy the **Client Secret** immediately, as it will not be visible again after you leave the page.
5. **Grant Permissions to Access SharePoint**

   * In the left sidebar of the application page, select **API permissions** under **Manage**.
   * Click **Add permission**.
   * Choose **Microsoft Graph**  (depending on the permissions you require).
   * Select **Delegated permissions** and **Application permission**s based on your needs (most likely, Application permissions) as shown below.
   * For accessing SharePoint data, add permissions like:

   * Click **Add permissions**.
   * For some **permissions**, you will need to click on **Grant admin consent** f**or \[your organization]** to allow these permissions to take effect (this access is only for Global admin).
6. &#x20;**Use the Credentials in Your Application**

   Once you have the following credentials:

   * **Client ID:**&#x46;rom the Azure AD application registration.
   * **Client Secret**:Generated in the "Certificates & Secrets" section.
   * **Tenant ID:**&#x46;rom the Azure AD app's Overview page.

   You enter these credentials on your [organization’s ](/karini-ai-documentation/organization.md)configuration page and utilize them within your integration setup to authenticate and securely establish a connection with the SharePoint API.<br>
