FAQs
- Q: Why does Yeastar Workplace ask for full access to all mailboxes?
- Yeastar Workplace uses an authentication method called OAuth to securely install the app onto your Microsoft 365 account. OAuth is a way for apps to request very specific rights for your account. For Microsoft 365/EWS, Microsoft requires that all OAuth apps request mailbox permission for EWS APIs. Once installed, Yeastar Workplace only interacts with your calendars.
- Q: Why is a Global Administrator account required?
- To sync room calendars, a domain-level Azure AD App will be installed to your Microsoft 365 account, which requires the authorization of a Global Administrator account. If you'd like to learn more about why a Global Administrator is needed, and how to keep your Microsoft 365 account secure, see Microsoft 365 Integration FAQs.
