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.
• You must have the Design Element you want to use to connect on your SharePoint page. For best results, we recommend using Design Elements that allow listing of multiple items (e.g. Icon List, Image List, Simple List, etc.).
