Authentication Token Management

Token Creation

When new authentication is requested (either via initial configuration or via a request to re-configure), a dialogue is presented with a link to the standard MS authentication/authorisation process. This will differ slightly depending on whether the primary/alternate process is used. It results in a url being provided back to the integration from which the token can be retrieved and stored.

The token file includes:

• All permissions granted on the Azure app - not just those required and requested by the integrations configuration
• Access token
• Refresh token

Access Token Renewal

The python-o365 library automatically manages token renewal when any call is made and an updated token is stored in the file location as documented in the integration docs.
