Using single sign-on (SSO) with Office Add-ins
Office Add-ins can access information from anywhere on the internet, whether from the server that hosts the add-in, from your internal network, or from somewhere else in the cloud. If that information is protected, your add-in needs a way to authenticate your user. Office Add-ins provide many different methods to authenticate using single sign-on (SSO), depending on your specific scenario. In this module, you'll learn how to implement single sign-on (SSO) and call the Microsoft Graph in Word, Excel, and Outlook add-ins.
