Before you begin, confirm that your Azure admin has granted org-wide Microsoft Graph API access and permissions. See App ID for Microsoft Graph Authentication. The admin setting up the connection from Microsoft is required to be assigned the DirectoryRole of a Global Admin, Cloud Application Admin, or Application Admin.

If Salesforce Inbox is configured in the org and its authentication method hasn’t been upgraded to Microsoft Graph, this upgrade procedure upgrades the authentication method of Salesforce Inbox to Microsoft Graph.

A notification in the notification tray and banner message alert users that the admin has changed the Microsoft connection method.

Each user account continues to use EWS authentication until they reconnect their account.
