# Manually Grant SharePoint Site Access

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Prerequisites:** Before proceeding, ensure you have **Site Admin rights** on the target SharePoint site. You can verify this by navigating to `_layouts/15/mngsiteadmin.aspx` on your SharePoint site. Additionally, the SharePoint site permissions must be set to **Full Access** for this step to work.

You can use **PnP PowerShell** or **Microsoft Graph API** to grant the app access to specific SharePoint sites with only **`Read`** permission.

* 🔗 [PnP PowerShell Documentation](https://pnp.github.io/powershell/cmdlets/Grant-PnPAzureADAppSitePermission.html)
* 🔗 [Microsoft Graph API Documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins-modernize/understanding-rsc-for-msgraph-and-sharepoint-online) (shown below)
  {% endhint %}

## 1. Create an Admin App

1. Create Admin App with **`Sites.FullControl.All`** permission. For a step-by-step guide, check the admin app section on[Create a Sharepoint Connection](/for-admins/classic-microsoft-integrations/create-a-sharepoint-connection.md).

## 2. Get access token of Admin App by Postman

1. Use the **`Client Id`**, **`Client Secret Key`**, **`Tenant Id`** of the Admin App to **`POST`** to **`https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenant_id>/oauth2/token`**

## 4. **Assign** SharePoint site **permission to target application**

```json
{
    "roles": [
        "read"
    ],
    "grantedToIdentities": [
        {
            "application": {
                "id": YOUR_TARGET_APPLICATION_ID,
                "displayName": "displayName"
            }
        }

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.blockbrain.ai/for-admins/classic-microsoft-integrations/create-a-sharepoint-connection/sharepoint-manual-site-setup/manually-grant-sharepoint-site-access.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
