SharePoint user connector: read-only access

Basic (Read Only) is the default access type. The connector uses the Abacus.AI app registration and can read SharePoint sites and files, but cannot create, modify or delete content.

You only need the config connector below if you want to set it explicitly (for example to record the SharePoint site URL, or to switch back from Write Access). Otherwise users can simply connect SharePoint from ChatLLM Teams.

Set the access type from the platform​

  1. Go to the Connected Services Dashboard. You can click your profile in the top right and then click Manage Connectors.
  2. Click Add New Connector, select SharePoint from the list, and turn the Config Only toggle on.
