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 the Spotlight app is stored in SharePoint lists. These lists are provisioned from the app as and when required. The lists provisioned are:
| List title | Relative URL | Purpose |
| Spotlight dismissals | /Lists/WMS_SpotlightDismissals | Storage of the user dismissals. |
Recommended deployment scope
It is expected that the Spotlight app will be made available to all sites on your SharePoint tenant for any content editor to use.
Therefore, it is recommended to select the Enable this app and add it to all sites option on deployment (see the Installation instructions page). This means the app is added to all sites in the tenant by default.
