Tonkean Application - Share All Sites
When an admin connects to this application, Tonkean for SharePoint - All Sites, they allow Tonkean to access all sites in their SharePoint environment. This configuration creates one SharePoint data source in Tonkean and any Tonkean solutions with access to that SharePoint data source can access all SharePoint sites.
This option offers less permissions control because it allows users to access all SharePoint sites but is easier to set up and manage—no additional setup is required after connecting the application and giving admin consent.
We recommend this method for most admins who want to set up a tenant-level connection with SharePoint.
Prerequisites
Before beginning this setup process, ensure you are an admin at your organization with the appropriate access to and permissions in Microsoft Online and Azure.
If you already have the Tonkean for SharePoint - Selected Sites application installed in Azure, you must locate and delete that application before installing and configuring the Tonkean for SharePoint - All Sites application. Attempting to give consent to both applications simultaneously results in an error.
Grant Access to the Tonkean for SharePoint - All Sites Application
Before you can connect SharePoint as a data source using a tenant-level connection, an admin must connect the Tonkean for SharePoint - All Sites application. This application displays on the Enterprise application screens in your Azure Active Directory admin center.
Log in to your Microsoft Online account and ensure you have the appropriate admin permissions to perform this setup process.
Navigate to the following link: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/adminconsent?client_id=1a87aebe-8b28-496b-afc8-28ca670066a4

On the Overview screen for your Azure Active Directory, locate your Tenant ID and copy the value.
Return to Tonkean and paste the Tenant ID value into the Tenant ID field, then select Authenticate with SharePoint Online. If authentication is successful, a success message appears at the top of the Set Up Data Source window that reads "Authenticated".
