Connections

OAuth 2.0

OAuth 2.0 Connectivity for Microsoft Project

To create an new Microsoft Project App Registration:

Navigate to the Microsoft Entra Identity > Applications > App registrations and select New registration.

Set the Supported Account types to Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant) so that users outside of your organization (i.e. your customers) can authenticate.
Set the Redirect URI dropdown as a "Web" platform. In that section add the OAuth callback URL https://oauth2.flowbuilder.eu.lansweeper.com/callback for EU sites or https://oauth2.flowbuilder.us.lansweeper.com/callback for US sites - as a Redirect URI.
Select Register to complete.

From the App menu navigate to Certificates & Secrets for the app and add a new Client Secret. Save the Value for the Client Secret in the connection configuration.
Navigate to the Overview page save the value listed as the Application (client) ID. This will be your Client ID for the connection configuration.
Navigate to API Permissions and select Add Permission, select the square labeled Sharepoint, and then Delegated permissions. Under the Project section select Project.Read, Project.Write in addition to any other permissions that will be required by your integration. You can use ProjectWebApp.FullControl to get started building and choose a more refined set at a later time.
Finally, to retrieve the Project Web App Site value (also referred to as the PWA site). This can be found by navigating to Microsoft Project 365, clicking the gear settings icon in the top right, and clicking on "PWA Site". You will need to copy the value from the https:// protocol through to the first slash (do not include the trailing slash or the path portion).
Additionally, Depending on your PWA site's configuration, user's attempting to authenticate may need to be added as members of the site before authentication.

To configure the OAuth 2.0 connection:

Add an MS Project OAuth 2.0 connection config var:

Use the Application (client) ID value for the Client ID field.
Use the Client Secret for the same named field.
Use the default Authorize URL.
Replace <pwaSite> in the Token URL with the PWA Site value.
Use the same PWA Site value for that field.

Save your integration and you should be able to authenticate a user through MS Project Online with Auth 2.0.

This connection uses OAuth 2.0, a common authentication mechanism for integrations.
Read about how OAuth 2.0 works here.
