Property details

auth: Auth

Supports single sign-on (SSO) by providing a method that allows the Office application to obtain an access token to the add-in's web application. Indirectly, this also enables the add-in to access the signed-in user's Microsoft Graph data without requiring the user to sign in a second time.
