Connection type between one drive for business and azure logic apps

Question

If i want to use one drive for business with logic app, what connection methods are possible

Answer 1

Hello DiyaPS-5330,

Option 1:

If you are using the built-in OneDrive for Business connector in Azure Logic Apps, the supported connection method is:

Authentication type:

OAuth 2.0 using an Azure AD work or school account (user-delegated permissions).

The connection is created by signing in with the user’s organizational account, and Logic Apps securely stores this connection for subsequent actions and triggers.

Option 2:

HTTP + Microsoft Graph API (service principal / managed identity)

For app-only or headless automation.

Authentication options

a. Azure AD App Registration (client credentials)

Register an app in Azure AD.

Grant Microsoft Graph → Files.ReadWrite.All (Application).

Use:

Client secret OR

  Certificate
  
  Call Graph via Logic App HTTP action.
  

b. Managed Identity (Logic App Standard only)

• Enable system-assigned or user-assigned managed identity.
• Grant it Graph application permissions.
• Use HTTP action with Managed Identity authentication.

To use OneDrive for Business with Azure Logic Apps, you can utilize the built-in connectors provided by Azure Logic Apps. These connectors allow you to create workflows that integrate OneDrive for Business with various services and systems. The connection methods typically involve using managed connector operations that are hosted and run in the Azure environment.

You can access OneDrive for Business through the Azure Logic Apps connector gallery, which provides a straightforward way to set up the connection and define actions such as creating, updating, or deleting files in OneDrive for Business as part of your workflows.

For more detailed information on how to set up these connections and the specific actions available, you can refer to the Azure Logic Apps documentation.
