Microsoft Graph
Microsoft Graph is the unified API endpoint provided by Microsoft that lets applications securely access data across Microsoft 365 services - including Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), and more.
For intranet systems, Microsoft Graph makes it possible to read user profiles, display calendars, search SharePoint documents, and manage permissions programmatically. It's essential for integrating Microsoft 365 with your internal tools and portals.
Why It Matters
Microsoft Graph enables deeper, real-time integration with Microsoft 365 - allowing your intranet to pull data directly from the source. Instead of copying files or duplicating directories, you can show live content like Teams messages or shared calendars inside your intranet environment.
This is especially valuable for banks and credit unions that want a modern, connected experience without giving up control or compliance visibility.
Key Use Cases
- Read Outlook calendars and display them on intranet dashboards
- Search SharePoint documents from your intranet
- Authenticate users via Microsoft Entra ID
- Automatically pull Teams presence and profile info
How SimplifyIT Helps
We use Microsoft Graph in many parts of our intranet platform - from pulling user profiles to enabling search across Microsoft 365. We handle the app registration and token management so that you don't have to touch code or worry about security policies.
