Connect SharePoint Online to Amazon Q Business using OAuth 2.0 ROPC flow authentication

Enterprises face significant challenges accessing and utilizing the vast amounts of information scattered across organization’s various systems. What if you could simply ask a question and get instant, accurate answers from your company’s entire knowledge base, while accounting for an individual user’s data access levels?

Amazon Q Business is a game changing AI assistant that’s revolutionizing how enterprises interact with their data. With Amazon Q Business, you can access relevant information through natural language conversations, drawing insights from diverse data sources within your organization, adhering to the permissions granted to your user account.

At its core, Amazon Q Business works by first indexing the content from a variety of data sources using built-in data source connectors. These connectors function as an integration layer, unifying content from diverse systems such as Salesforce, Microsoft Exchange, and SharePoint into a centralized index. This consolidated index powers the natural language processing and response generation capabilities of Amazon Q. When a user asks a question using the built-in web experience, Amazon Q Business retrieves relevant content from the index, taking into account user profiles and permissions. It then uses large language models (LLMs) to provide accurate, personalized, and well-written responses based on the consolidated data.

For a full list of Amazon Q supported data source connectors, refer to Supported connectors.

This approach is useful when you need Amazon Q Business to crawl through OneNote or when certificate-based authentication is not preferred or your organization has a strict policy that requires regular password rotation. For a complete list of authentication mechanisms, refer to SharePoint (Online) connector overview.

We provide a step-by-step guide for the Azure AD configuration and demonstrate how to set up the Amazon Q connector to establish this secure integration.

Solution overview

SharePoint is a web-based solution developed by Microsoft that enables organizations to collaborate, manage documents, and share information efficiently. It offers a wide range of features, including using document libraries, viewing lists, publishing pages, sharing events and links, and allowing users to make comments, making it a great tool for team collaboration and content management.

After integrating SharePoint Online with Amazon Q Business, you can ask questions using natural language about the content stored in the SharePoint sites. For example, if your organization’s human resources team manages an internal SharePoint site and maintains a list of holidays for geographical regions, you can ask, “What are the company holidays for this year?” Amazon Q Business will then list region-specific holidays based on your location (country).

The following diagram illustrates the solution architecture. In the upcoming sections, we show you how to implement this architecture. After you integrate Amazon Q Business using the SharePoint connector, Amazon Q Business will crawl through the SharePoint content and update the index whenever content changes. Each published event, page, link, file, comment, OneNote, and attachment on the SharePoint site is treated as a document. In addition to the documents, it also crawls through access control lists (ACLs) for each document (user and group information) and stores them in the . This allows end-users to see chat responses generated only from the documents they have access to.

You can configure Azure AD using either of the following methods:

• Use the Azure AD console GUI – This is a manual process
• Use the provided PowerShell script – This is an automated process that takes in the inputs and configures the required permissions

We demonstrate both methods in the following sections.

Prerequisites

To follow along, you need the following prerequisites:

• The user performing these steps should be a global administrator on Azure AD/Entra ID.
• You need to configure Microsoft Entra ID and AWS IAM Identity Center. For details, see Configure SAML and SCIM with Microsoft Entra ID and IAM Identity Center.
• You need a Microsoft Windows instance to run PowerShell scripts and commands with PowerShell 7.4.1+. Details of the required PowerShell modules are described in the following steps.
• The user should have administrator permissions on the Windows instance.
• The user running these PowerShell commands should have the right M365 license (for example, M365 E3).

Configure Azure AD using the Azure AD console

To configure Azure AD using the GUI, complete the steps in this section.

Register an Azure AD application

Complete the following steps to register an Azure AD application in the Azure AD tenant that is linked to the SharePoint Online/O365 tenant:

1. Open the Office 365 Admin Center using the account of a user member of the Tenant Global Admins group.
2. Navigate to Microsoft Azure Portal.
3. Search for and choose App registrations.

4. Choose New registration.

5. Enter a name for your application, select who can use this application, then choose Register.

An application will be created. You will see a page like the following screenshot.

6. Note the values for Display name, Application (client) ID, and Directory (tenant) ID. These IDs will be different than what is shown in the screenshot.

Now you can configure the newly registered application with Microsoft Graph and SharePoint API permissions.

When configuring permissions, you have two different options:

• Option 1 – Allow access to a specific set of SharePoint sites by granting the Selected permission
• Option 2 – Allow access to all SharePoint sites by granting the FullControl.All permission

For option 1, install the MS Graph PowerShell SDK as a prerequisite.

Option 1: Manually allow access to specific SharePoint sites

If you choose option 1, to grant access to specific sites instead of all sites, you need to complete additional prerequisites.

Make sure you have access to another application in Microsoft Entra ID with Sites.FullControl.All application-level permissions, along with its client ID and client secret. This application won’t be used by the Amazon Q Business connector, but it’s needed to grant Sites.Selected permissions only to the application you just registered. If you don’t have access to an application with Sites.FullControl permissions, you can follow the previous steps to register a new application and grant Sites.FullControl as described in option 2. We refer to this application as SitesFullControlApp.

To configure your permissions using option 1, complete the following steps:

1. In the navigation pane, choose API permissions.
2. Choose the options menu (three dots) next to the permissions that were granted by default when you registered the application, and remove those permissions.

3. Choose Add a permission and then choose Microsoft Graph.

4. Choose Delegated permissions.

5. Select Sites.Selected and choose Add permissions.

6. Add the following Microsoft Graph API delegated permissions:
   1. GroupMember.Read.All
   2. User.Read.All

You will see the permissions listed as shown in the following screenshot.

7. Some of the following permissions require admin consent in a tenant before it can be used. To grant admin consent, choose Grant admin consent for and choose Yes to confirm.

After granting admin consent, your permissions should look like the following screenshot.

8. To grant permissions to a specific SharePoint site, you’ll need to obtain the Site ID for that site.
   1. Visit the URL of the SharePoint site in your web browser. The URL will be in the format https://yourcompany.sharepoint.com/sites/{SiteName}.
   2. Log in to the site using valid
   3. Edit the URL in your browser’s address bar by appending /_api/site/id to the end of {SiteName}. For example, if the original URL was https://yourcompany.sharepoint.com/sites/HumanResources, modify it to https://yourcompany.sharepoint.com/sites/HumanResources/_api/site/id.
   4. Press Enter, and the browser will display the Site ID for that particular SharePoint site collection.

9. Run the script after gathering the values listed in the following table.

param(
  [Parameter(Mandatory = $true,
    HelpMessage = "The friendly name of the app registration")]
  [String]
  $AppName,
  [Parameter(Mandatory = $true,
    HelpMessage = "Application (client) ID that was registered")]
  [String]
  $AppID,
  [Parameter(Mandatory = $true,
    HelpMessage = "Application (client) ID that was granted with Sites.FullControl.All")]
  [String]
  $SitesFullControlAppID,

  [Parameter(Mandatory = $true,
    HelpMessage = "Client Secret of the APP ID that was granted with Sites.FullControl.All")]
  [string]
  $SitesFullControlAppClientSecret,

  [Parameter(Mandatory = $true,
    HelpMessage = "SharePoint Site ID")]
  [String]
  $SiteId,

  [Parameter(Mandatory = $true,
    HelpMessage = "Your Azure Active Directory tenant ID")]
  [String]
  $TenantId,

  [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
  [Switch]
  $StayConnected = $false
)

# You will get access token by logging into application that has Sites.Fullcontrol.All permissions and using the token, grant permissions to new application you created with Sites.Selected permission.

$Scope = "https://graph.microsoft.com/.default"
$TokenEndpoint = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/$TenantId/oauth2/v2.0/token"

# Body of the request

$body = @{
  grant_type    = "client_credentials"
  client_id     = $SitesFullControlAppID
  client_secret = $SitesFullControlAppClientSecret
  scope         = $Scope
}

# Get access token
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $TokenEndpoint -Method POST -Body $body 

# URL to grant permission to site
$url = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/$SiteId/permissions"

# Define the body content as JSON string

$Body = @"
{
  "roles": ["fullcontrol"],
  "grantedToIdentities": [{
    "application": {
      "id": "$AppID",
      "displayName": "$AppName"
    }
  }]
}
"@

# Headers
$headers = @{
  "Authorization" = "Bearer $($response.access_token)"
  "Content-Type"  = "application/json"
}
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Post -Headers $headers -Body $Body

$response

The output from the PowerShell script will look like the following screenshot.

This completes the steps to configure permissions for a specific set of SharePoint site collections.

Option 2: Manually allow access to all SharePoint sites

Complete the following steps to allow full control permissions to all the SharePoint site collections:

1. In the navigation pane, choose API permissions.
2. Remove the permissions that were granted by default when you registered the application.
3. Choose Add a permission and then choose Microsoft Graph.

4. Choose Delegated permissions.

5. Select FullControl.All and choose Add permissions.

Next, you configure Microsoft Graph application permissions.

6. In the navigation pane, choose API permissions.
7. Choose Add a permission and then choose Microsoft Graph.
8. Choose Application permissions.

9. Add the following application permissions:
   •  GroupMember.Read.All
   •  User.Read.All
   •  Notes.Read.All
   •  Sites.Read.All

Next, you configure SharePoint delegated permissions.

10. In the navigation pane, choose API permissions.
11. Choose Add a permission and then choose SharePoint.

12. Choose Delegated permissions.
13. Expand AllSites, select AllSites.Read, and choose Add permission.

You will find the permissions listed as shown in the following screenshot.

14. Some of the following permissions require admin consent in a tenant before it can be used. To grant admin consent, choose Grant admin consent for and choose Yes to confirm.

After granting admin consent, your permissions will look like the following screenshot.

This completes the steps to configure permissions to allow full control permissions to all the SharePoint site collections.

Create a client secret

Complete the following steps to create a client secret:

1. In the navigation pane, choose Certificates & secrets.
2. On the Client secrets tab, choose New client secret.
3. Enter a value for Description and choose an expiration length Expires.
4. Choose Add.

5. Save the client secret value.

This value is needed while configuring Amazon Q. Client secret values can’t be viewed except for immediately after creation. Be sure to save the secret.

Deactivate multi-factor authentication

To deactivate multi-factor authentication (MFA), sign in to the Microsoft Entra Admin Center as security or global administrator and disable the security defaults.

1. In the navigation pane, choose Identity and Overview.
2. On the Properties tab, choose Manage security defaults.
3. Choose Disabled.
4. For Reason for disabling, select Other and enter your reason.
5. Choose Save.

Configure Azure AD using the provided PowerShell script

• Option 1: Grant access to specific SharePoint sites. This approach involves granting the Selected permission, which allows access to a specific set of SharePoint sites.
• Option 2: Grant access to all SharePoint sites. This approach involves granting the FullControl.All permission, which allows access to all SharePoint sites in your organization.

When configuring permissions, consider your organization’s SharePoint access requirements. Many SharePoint admins prefer to grant Amazon Q Business access only to specific sites that need to be crawled, in which case Option 1 with the Sites.Selected permission would be suitable.

For either option, the user running the PowerShell script should be an Azure AD tenant admin or have tenant admin permissions. Additionally,  .

Run one of the provided PowerShell scripts, then follow the additional instructions. The scripts will perform the following tasks:

• Register a new application in Azure AD/Entra ID
• Configure the required permissions
• Provide admin consent for the configured permissions

Option 1: Use a script to allow access to specific SharePoint sites

There is one additional prerequisite for option 1 (granting Sites.Selected permission): you need access to another application in Microsoft Entra ID that has the Sites.FullControl.All application-level permission. These are required to grant the Sites.Selected permission to the new application you will register. If you don’t have access to an application with the Sites.FullControl.All permission, you can follow the to register a new application and grant it the Sites.FullControl.All permission. This application will be referred to as SitesFullControlApp.

 Use the following script to grant permissions to a specific SharePoint site. You need the following information before running the script.

param(
  [Parameter(Mandatory = $true,
    HelpMessage = "The friendly name of the app registration")]
  [String]
  $AppName,
  [Parameter(Mandatory = $true,
    HelpMessage = "Application (client) ID that was registered")]
  [String]
  $AppID,
  [Parameter(Mandatory = $true,
    HelpMessage = "Application (client) ID that was granted with Sites.FullControl.All")]
  [String]
  $SitesFullControlAppID,

  [Parameter(Mandatory = $true,
    HelpMessage = "Client Secret of the APP ID that was granted with Sites.FullControl.All")]
  [string]
  $SitesFullControlAppClientSecret,

  [Parameter(Mandatory = $true,
    HelpMessage = "SharePoint Site ID")]
  [String]
  $SiteId,

  [Parameter(Mandatory = $true,
    HelpMessage = "Your Azure Active Directory tenant ID")]
  [String]
  $TenantId,

  [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
  [Switch]
  $StayConnected = $false
)

# You will get access token by logging into application that has Sites.Fullcontrol.All permissions and using the token, grant permissions to new application you created with Sites.Selected permission.

$Scope = "https://graph.microsoft.com/.default"
$TokenEndpoint = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/$TenantId/oauth2/v2.0/token"

# Body of the request

$body = @{
  grant_type    = "client_credentials"
  client_id     = $SitesFullControlAppID
  client_secret = $SitesFullControlAppClientSecret
  scope         = $Scope
}

# Get access token
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $TokenEndpoint -Method POST -Body $body 

# URL to grant permission to site
$url = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/$SiteId/permissions"

# Define the body content as JSON string

$Body = @"
{
  "roles": ["fullcontrol"],
  "grantedToIdentities": [{
    "application": {
      "id": "$AppID",
      "displayName": "$AppName"
    }
  }]
}
"@

# Headers
$headers = @{
  "Authorization" = "Bearer $($response.access_token)"
  "Content-Type"  = "application/json"
}
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Post -Headers $headers -Body $Body

$response

The output from the PowerShell script will look like the following screenshot.

Note down the secret value shown in the output and then close the window for security. You will not able to retrieve this value again.

Option 2: Use a script to manually grant access to all SharePoint sites

The following script grants full control permissions to all the SharePoint site collections. You need the following information before running the script.
