OneDrive and SharePoint Issues

If you're having trouble connecting Perplexity to Microsoft applications, you may need admin consent approval. Here's how to get it:

Before You Begin

Make sure you have:

  • Completed Carbon's managed OAuth flow and submitted the admin consent request.

  • Access to an administrator or designated reviewer role.

Getting Admin Approval

  1. Have your administrator sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center (with at least Cloud Application Administrator privileges)

  2. Navigate to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications

  3. Under Activity, select Admin consent requests

  4. Select the My Pending tab to view requests

    1. Find and select the Perplexity application

    2. Review the permissions and application details

  5. Approve the request to grant access for all users in your organization

All requestors will be notified that their request for access is granted. This allows all users in your tenant to access Perplexity unless otherwise restricted with user assignment.

Permission Issues?

If you can't see the approval request under My Pending, the admin consent flow might not be activated. In this case, you'll need Global Administrator permissions to either:

  • Set up the admin consent flow

  • Consent directly through Perplexity's managed OAuth flow


Google Drive Issues

Google-specific settings may block integration. Here's how to fix them:

OAuth Scope Settings

If your organization can't set access to "Unrestricted," try these alternatives:

  1. Select "Restricted: Only trusted apps can access a service"

2. Enable "For apps that are not trusted, allow users to grant access to OAuth scopes that aren't classified as high-risk"

Drive SDK Configuration

Check your Google Workspace settings:

  1. Go to Google Workspace > Drive and Docs > Features and Applications > Drive SDK

  2. Make sure to select "Allow users to access Google Drive with the Drive SDK API"

This setting is crucial as it allows Perplexity to work with your Google Drive files.
