SharePoint

By connecting Super with your SharePoint account, you can instantly search through all your content stored in SharePoint directly in Super.
This guide will walk you through the key aspects of the Super and SharePoint connection.

Connecting SharePoint & Super

This is the first step to get started. This section covers how to set up the connection between Super and SharePoint.

Required Permissions for Setup

To connect Super and SharePoint, you must have the necessary permissions in both platforms.
  • In Super: Permission to add or remove data sources depends on your team's settings. By default, only workspace admins or owners can set up a connection. However, a Super admin can enable a setting to allow all members to add and remove data sources.
  • In SharePoint: The user connecting the account must have appropriate permissions to access the SharePoint data you want to sync.

Initial SharePoint Connection

1) Fetching SharePoint Permissions (Expand section to read more...)

To begin, a SharePoint admin needs to set up the following.

a) Registering a New Dedicated App

  • Go to  this page  and for search for "app registrations".
  • Click "New registration" in the top-left corner.
  • Give the application a name (e.g., “Slite").
  • Make sure the default option "Accounts in this organizational directory only" is selected and click Register.

b) Managing API Permissions

The application you created requires permissions to fetch your SharePoint content along with its users and groups.
  • In the left sidebar, go to "API permissions" in the Manage section.
  • Click  "Add a permission", then select Microsoft Graph and Application.
  • Add all the following permissions:
  • Directory.Read.All
  • Files.Read.All
  • Group.Read.All
  • GroupMember.Read.All
  • Sites.Read.All
  • User.Read.All
  • Click "Grant admin consent for [your organization]"
  • It should say "Check Mark Button Granted for [your organization]"

c) Creating a Secret

In order for Super to be able to use your application, you need to create secret credentials.
  • In the left sidebar, go to "Certificates & Secrets" in the Manage section.
  • Click "New client secret", then give your client secret a description.
  • Set it to expire in 24 months.
  • Copy the secret value as you will need it  in the next step⁠ .
  • Go back to the application Overview to copy the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID.

2) Connecting SharePoint in Super (Expand section to read more...)

Next, you need to connect your SharePoint account with Super.
    In Super, click Data Sources in the left sidebar.
    Find the SharePoint option and click Connect SharePoint.
    You will be prompted to enter the values you just copied in the previous step.
    Once you've pasted your Tenant ID, Client ID, and Client Secret, click Save.
    The initial data sync will begin.
    Once the initial sync is complete, you can use SharePoint everywhere in Super as a Data Source.

How Super Indexes Your SharePoint Data

What We Sync

Super syncs documents, files, and their metadata from your connected SharePoint account. This includes:
  • SharePoint pages
  • .PDF files
  • .PPT(X) files
  • .DOC(X) files

Refresh Rate

New and updated SharePoint content will appear in Super every 6 hours, but you can always sync manually if you need immediate updates.

Metadata

To make your search results more useful, Super automatically indexes metadata from your SharePoint documents and files, such as:
  • File name and type
  • Creation and modification dates
  • Author and last modified by

Access Control & Privacy

Permissions are respected based on the user's SharePoint account access.
Super members can only search and access SharePoint files that they have permission to view in SharePoint.
This ensures that private or restricted files remain secure and are only accessible to authorized users.
