Required API permissions

The following Microsoft Graph API permissions are required:

Scope Purpose
User.Read.All Read the user's full profile to assess profile completion and for the live persona card.
People.Read.All Read the user's relevant people list for the live persona card.
Contacts.Read Read the user's contact list for the live persona card.  
Contacts.ReadWrite Read and write to the user's contact list to update their contacts from the live persona card.
Files.ReadWrite Read and write to a user's files. A file is created in the user's OneDrive by User Profile as a reference if the user has used the 'Remind me later' feature.


These permissions are delegated and organisation-wide and require approval by a user with the Global Administrator role after the app has been deployed.

Recommended deployment scope

It is expected that the User Profile 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.
