Required API permissions

The following Microsoft Graph API permissions are required by this app.

Some permissions may already be pre-approved by Microsoft, while others require manual approval by a user with the Global Administrator role after the app has been deployed. See our guide to approving API permissions for full instructions.

Scope	Purpose	Pre-approved by Microsoft
User.ReadBasic.All	Read all users' basic profiles for audience targeting.	✅ Yes
GroupMember.Read.All	Read group memberships for audience targeting.	✅ Yes

These permissions are delegated, apply organization-wide, and are essential for the app to function properly.

Data storage

Data for Launchpad is stored in SharePoint lists and libraries. These are provisioned from the app as and when required. The lists/libraries provisioned are:

List/library title	Relative URL	Purpose
Launchpad links	/Lists/WMLP_Links	Storage of the links.
Launchpad categories	/Lists/WMLP_Categories	Categorisation of the links.
Launchpad preferences	/Lists/WMLP_Preferences	User preferences and configuration
Launchpad global preferences	/Lists/WMLP_GlobalPreferences	Editor configuration for the optional Launchpad synchronisation feature.
Launchpad user images	/WMLP_UserImages	A hidden document library for link images uploaded by a user.

Recommended deployment scope

It is expected that the Launchpad app is made available only on specific areas of your SharePoint tenant as necessary, e.g., a home site or landing site.

Therefore, it is recommended to select the Only enable this app option on deployment (see the Installation instructions page). This means the app is available for Site Owners to manually add to their site.
