Make queries to reporting data from a Project Web App instance

Component key: ms-project

Description

Microsoft Project is a project management software product, developed and sold by Microsoft. This component allows you to interact with your projects, tasks, and assignments by making queries to reporting data from a Project Web App instance.

Connections

OAuth 2.0

To create an new Microsoft Project App Registration:

Navigate to the Microsoft Entra Identity > Applications > App registrations and select New registration.

Set the Supported Account types to Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant) so that users outside of your organization (i.e. your customers) can authenticate.
Set the Redirect URI dropdown as a "Web" platform. In that section add the OAuth callback URL https://oauth2.prismatic.io/callback - as a Redirect URI.
Select Register to complete.

From the App menu navigate to Certificates & Secrets for the app and add a new Client Secret. Save the Value for the Client Secret in the connection configuration.
Navigate to the Overview page save the value listed as the Application (client) ID. This will be your Client ID for the connection configuration.
Navigate to API Permissions and select Add Permission, select the square labeled Sharepoint, and then Delegated permissions. Under the Project section select Project.Read, Project.Write in addition to any other permissions that will be required by your integration. You can use ProjectWebApp.FullControl to get started building and choose a more refined set at a later time.
Finally, to retrieve the Project Web App Site value (also referred to as the PWA site). This can be found by navigating to Microsoft Project 365, clicking the gear settings icon in the top right, and clicking on "PWA Site". You will need to copy the value from the https:// protocol through to the first slash (do not include the trailing slash or the path portion).
Additionally, Depending on your PWA site's configuration, user's attempting to authenticate may need to be added as members of the site before authentication.

To configure the OAuth 2.0 connection:

Add an MS Project OAuth 2.0 connection config var:

Use the Application (client) ID value for the Client ID field.
Use the Client Secret for the same named field.
Use the default Authorize URL.
Replace <pwaSite> in the Token URL with the PWA Site value.
Use the same PWA Site value for that field.

Save your integration and you should be able to authenticate a user through MS Project Online with Auth 2.0.

Input	Notes	Example
Authorize URL	The OAuth 2.0 Authorization URL for Microsoft Project	https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize
Client ID	This value is obtained by creating a new app in Active Directory with the same tenant as your user with a Microsoft Project license
Client Secret	This value can be generated inside your Active Directory application.
PWA Site	The Project Web App Sharepoint Site domain. This is the same value that is supplied for the resource argument of the Token URL.	https://example.sharepoint.com
Scopes
Token URL	The OAuth 2.0 Token URL for Microsoft Project; replace `<pwaSite>` with the protocol and domain of the PWA Site. Example: https://example.sharepoint.com	https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/token?resource=<pwaSite>

Unlike other Microsoft products, the Project Data service does not implement the $links query option or the $expand query option.
