Use Azure AD app principal without user context

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) ...

How user profile synchronization works in Office 365 services

How user profile synchronization works in Office 365 services

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. AAD Basics The basis of all Office 365 services is the central Azure Active Directory (AAD) that stores all users, groups, licenses and relations of an Office 365 tenant (*.onmicrosoft.com). Entities can be managed in the Office-Portal, with scripts (PowerShell, etc.) or custom code (accessing the Microsoft API’s), or in a hybrid scenario with AAD Connect or ADFS. Once a user is created in AAD, there are a bunch of user properties available, as the User Principal Name (UPN, which is the login name), the person’s name and address data, Office 365 licenses, and more. All Office 365 products require such a user identity for sign-in. Once logged in, users benefit from Single-Sign-On (SSO) experience with one single identity. ...

Honored for receiving my 5th MVP Award

Honored for receiving my 5th MVP Award

Well, it’s 1st of July and guess what? I got reawarded as a Microsoft MVP for the 5th time. And, I was accepted by two Product Groups for my contributions of the last year: I got the MVP award for Microsoft Azure and for Office Development. Wow! See my MVP-Profile here. For me, being awarded as a Microsoft MVP is a great honor. This award is a marvelous acknowledgment for all my activities as conferences, meetups, blog articles and all my other contributions to the various national and international IT-communities. I started as a MVP for “Client Development” in 2013 which then was re-organized in “Windows Development”. It was a very exiting time to be part of that group among great personalities! Today, I’m doing mostly projects around Microsoft Azure and Office Development, so I’m really proud and happy that my community contributions ended up in these two new competencies. ...

Bye bye, sofort-test.office365.de

Bye bye, sofort-test.office365.de

Alles hat ein Ende, so auch unser Office 365 Sofort-Test. Der Sofort-Test von Office 365 wurde von uns gemeinsam mit Microsoft Deutschland 2012 entwickelt und ermöglichte das rasche und anonyme Testen von Office 365 Services. Nun, nach fünf Jahren, ist Office 365 erfolgreich im deutschen Markt angekommen und der Office 365 Sofort-Test hat ausgedient. Der Sofort-Test war unter der Adresse sofort-test.office365.de für jedermann erreichbar und ermöglichte das kostenlose Ausprobieren von Office 365 für 30 Minuten. Der Besucher erhielt einen vorgenerierten Office 365 Benutzer, der Zugang zu Microsoft SharePoint Online, Exchange Online und weiteren Diensten bereit stelle. ...
