Provisioning an Office 365 group with an approval flow and Azure functions-part 1

Thursday, September 28, 2017 3:30 AM Martina Grom
Office 365 groups span over various Office 365 services and provide a great way for collaborating. By default, every user can create an Office 365 group. While self-service is a good thing and many businesses adopted into that direction, some companies still prefer the controlled approach. In real world environments, organizations usually want to restrict the group provisioning so that IT can control the wild growth of groups. This article series shows how to create an Office 365 group with an attached approval process with SharePoint Online, Flow and Azure functions. See how this works here!

In the last days, some customers of Delegate365 experienced a warning in the Delegate365 portal that informed about the failing communication to Exchange Online. This issue was caused by the Microsoft Exchange Online PowerShell endpoint. We are glad to announce that this issue should be fixed soon.

Use Azure AD app principal without user context

Monday, August 21, 2017 1:41 PM js
For an application registered in AAD to be able to run in application context only without a user context the "Company Administrator" role has to be assigned to the application in order to be able to access administrator endpoints for APIs like the Microsoft Graph. No additional permissions have to be assigned to the application after assigning this role.The assignment has to be done using PowerShell and looks like this: (the app registration has to be done beforehand)Install-Module AzureADConnect-AzureAD$app = Get-AzureADServicePrincipal -SearchString "your app name"$role = Get-AzureADDirectoryRole | Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -eq "Company Administrator" }Add-AzureADDirectoryRoleMember -ObjectId $role.ObjectId -RefObjectId $app.ObjectIdNote that you have to replace the string "your app name" with the name provided to your app registration. The script intalls (if not already installed) the AzureAD PowerShell module and uses the contained commandlets to get the service principal of the app registration by name, gets the Azure AD Directory Role "Company Administrator" and adds this role to the service principal of the app. After the role has been added, the app might, e.g., make queries to the user endpoint of the Microsoft Graph API to get properties from any users in the AAD.

How user profile synchronization works in Office 365 services

Friday, July 7, 2017 3:00 PM Martina Grom
Office 365 users often ask about user profiles in various Office 365 services and where to change what. Since the Office 365 products do have a history, there are different places where user profile data is stored and how specific properties are synchronized. So, we at atwork thought that it makes sense to inform about the current user profile status in Office 365 with this article.

Add your local IP address to a SQL Azure Firewall easily

Saturday, May 6, 2017 6:00 AM Toni Pohl
When working with SQL Azure you are aware that a connection is just established, if the client’s IP address is configured in the firewall of the SQL Azure database server. You needed to open the Azure Portal-SQL servers service, and add your IP address manually. Well, the good story is, now the SQL Server 2016 Management Studio does this for you!
