Set up Microsoft client app for OAuth2
This guide provides instructions to set up a Microsoft client app for the OAuth2 flow. OAuth2 is the industry-standard protocol for authorization, allowing people in your organization to authorize your app to securely access their Microsoft data via API.

Sema4.ai provides a public Microsoft OAuth2 client, which you can use to authenticate users and access their Microsoft data via API. This means you don't have to set up your own Microsoft OAuth2 client.
Select Use Sema4.ai OAuth2 Client from the dropdown.
