The Viva Engage app profile can be used by the following services:
When you create a Viva Engage app profile in AvePoint Online Services, the AvePoint Online Services Administration for Viva Engage app will be automatically set up in your Microsoft Entra ID. The account used to consent to the app must be Microsoft 365 Global Administrator, Privileged Role Administrator, or Engage Administrator (refers to the Yammer Administrator in Microsoft Entra ID) account that is in the same tenant.
*Note: When creating a Viva Engage app profile used by Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365, the consent user must be a Microsoft 365 Global Administrator with the Viva Engage product license. To re-authorize the Viva Engage app, the consent user must have the Verified Admin role and the Yammer administrator role with the Viva Engage product license.
The table below lists the permissions that should be accepted when you authorize the AvePoint Online Services Administration for Viva Engage app.
| API | Permission | Type | Purpose | Is newly required? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Graph | User.Read(Sign in and read user profile) | Delegated | Support signing into AvePoint Online Services with Microsoft 365 accounts. | No |
| Yammer | access_as_user(Read and write to the Yammer platform [preview]) | Delegated | To access the Viva Engage platform on behalf of the signed-in user. | No |
| Yammer | user_impersonation(Read and write to the Yammer platform [preview]) | Delegated | To access the Viva Engage platform on behalf of the signed-in user. | No |
*Note: If your tenant has configured a Viva Engage app profile in the classic UI, the legacy Viva Engage app profile (the app in your Viva Engage environment is AOS Administration) is still available in the new UI. After the legacy Viva Engage app profile has been re-authorized, it will be replaced by the new Viva Engage app profile.
