  • Establish a connection between Major Security Incident Management and Microsoft SharePoint to enable document collaboration and management of security incidents.

    Before you begin

    Role required: admin, sn_msi.workspace_admin

    Note:
    The Azure App Registration credentials (Client ID, Tenant ID, Certificate or Client Secret) are the same values entered in each instance. The SharePoint Site URL differs if separate sites were provisioned per environment.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to Workspaces > Major Security Incident Management > Administration.
    2. Select Document Collaboration, and then Microsoft SharePoint Setup.
    3. Select Grant Azure App Access to SharePoint Site from the context menu.
    4. Grant access to your registered application using one of the following methods: Curl Commands, Azure CLI or PowerShell.
      Note:
      • The Azure administrator must provide the access configuration.
      • Grant the Sites.FullControl.All permission to the registered application.
      • Remove the Sites.FullControl.All permission when the access is successfully granted.
      Note:
      This is a two-phase process: Phase 1 (Azure portal) — temporarily grant Sites.FullControl.All at the API Permissions level on the App Registration to enable the site-level grant commands below. Phase 2 (commands) — execute one of the three methods to grant write access to the registered application at the SharePoint site level via the Microsoft Graph API. Once the ServiceNow connection is confirmed, return to the Azure portal and remove Sites.FullControl.All from API Permissions; the site-level write permission granted by the commands remains in place for ongoing MSIM operations. For the command reference for all three methods, see Commands to grant Azure application access to the Microsoft SharePoint site.
    5. Select Set Up SharePoint Configuration from the context menu.
    6. Select a configuration type in Select Configurations Types, and configure the following.
