Prerequisites

• You must have ShortPoint SPFx version 8.6.0.0 and up installed on your SharePoint environment.
• You must be a ShortPoint Designer with an active license.
• You must have the Microsoft Graph API connection enabled. Go to How to Enable Microsoft Graph Integration for MS Graph API Connections to learn how.
• You must authorize the necessary permissions (Users.Read.All and Directory.Read.All) in the API access page. To check, go to your SharePoint Admin Center > Advanced > API access.
