SharePoint Integration with Adobe Workfront
SharePoint Integration with Adobe Workfront
🔍 Scenario
Our organization recently integrated Microsoft SharePoint with Adobe Workfront to streamline document management and project collaboration.
During implementation, a key question came up:
👉 If one user configures the SharePoint integration using their Microsoft account, will all other users automatically be able to use it?
🧠 What We Observed
After testing the integration, we identified the following behavior:
-
The SharePoint integration in Workfront is user-based (OAuth authentication)
-
Each user must individually log in to their SharePoint account when accessing the integration
-
Permissions are delegated per user, not shared globally
⚠️ Key Challenges
-
Multiple User Logins Required
Every user must authenticate separately with their Microsoft account. -
Approval Prompts
Some users encounter an “Approval Required” screen depending on organizational Microsoft policies. -
Access Dependency
Users can only access SharePoint files and folders they already have permission for. -
No Shared Integration Context
One user’s integration setup does not apply to others.
🔄 Real-World Example
-
User A connects SharePoint and uploads documents via Workfront
-
User B tries to access the same documents
👉 Result:
-
User B must first log in to SharePoint
While the default SharePoint integration in Adobe Workfront requires individual user authentication, I’m curious to know:
👉 Is there any way to configure a centralized integration so that all users can access SharePoint through Workfront without needing to log in individually?
- Has anyone implemented this using Microsoft Graph API or a service account?
- Is it possible to reduce or eliminate repeated approval prompts for users?
- What are the best practices for managing permissions in such a setup?
