## OneNote integration

Integrating OneNote with Frontegg allows your application to read and manage the signed-in user's OneNote notebooks, sections, and pages — through Frontegg's integration layer using Microsoft OAuth 2.0 and the Microsoft Graph API.

Prerequisites
- A Microsoft account with access to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/)
- An Azure Active Directory (Microsoft Entra ID) tenant


### Register an application in Azure

#### Step 1: Go to App registrations

Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/) and search for **App registrations** in the top search bar. Click **App registrations** in the results, then click **New registration**.

![App registrations page in Azure portal](/assets/onenote-1.65cb63fda102839b83eb6b1704d5dd0f85f6ede1c4baaf4981c581eaba2c8dde.1ce25488.png)

#### Step 2: Register a new application

Fill in the registration form:

1. Enter a name for your application (for example, `Frontegg OneNote Integration`).
2. Under **Supported account types**, select **Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Microsoft Entra ID tenant — Multitenant) and personal Microsoft accounts** for multi-tenant apps, or the appropriate option for your use case.
3. Under **Redirect URI**, select **Web** as the platform and enter:

```
https://YOUR_MCP_GATEWAY_URL/integration-callback
```
4. Click **Register**.

#### Step 3: Copy the Application (client) ID and Directory (tenant) ID

After registration, you are taken to the application overview page. Copy both the **Application (client) ID** and the **Directory (tenant) ID** — you will need them when configuring the Frontegg portal.

### Create a client secret

#### Step 4: Go to Certificates & secrets

In the left sidebar, click **Certificates & secrets**, then click **New client secret**.

#### Step 5: Add a description and expiry

In the **Add a client secret** panel, enter a description (for example, `Frontegg Integration`) and choose an expiry period. Click **Add**.

#### Step 6: Copy the client secret value

The new secret appears in the list. Copy the **Value** immediately — it is only shown once. After you navigate away, you cannot retrieve it again.

The Client Secret value is only displayed once. After you leave this page, you can only see the secret ID — not the value. Store the value securely before continuing.

### Configure API permissions

#### Step 7: Go to API permissions

In the left sidebar, click **API permissions**, then click **Add a permission**.

#### Step 8: Select Microsoft Graph

In the **Request API permissions** panel, click **Microsoft Graph**.

#### Step 9: Select delegated permissions

Click **Delegated permissions**. Use the search box to find the `Notes` group and expand it, then select the required Notes permissions. Repeat for `offline_access`, then click **Add permissions**.

#### Step 10: Verify configured permissions

After adding permissions, the **API permissions** page shows all configured permissions under **Microsoft Graph**.

### Configure the Frontegg portal

Once you have your **Client ID**, **Client Secret**, and optionally the **Tenant ID**, enter them in the Frontegg portal:

1. Open the **Frontegg portal** and navigate to [ENVIRONMENT] → Integrations → OneNote.
2. Enter the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** in the corresponding fields.
3. Optionally, enter the **Directory (tenant) ID**. Leave blank or use `common` for multi-tenant applications.
4. Select the required **scopes**:


| Scope | Description |
|  --- | --- |
| `User.Read` | Sign in and read the signed-in user's profile |
| `Notes.Read` | Read the user's OneNote notebooks |
| `Notes.ReadWrite` | Read and write the user's OneNote notebooks |
| `Notes.Create` | Create the user's OneNote notebooks |
| `Notes.Read.All` | Read all OneNote notebooks that the user can access |
| `Notes.ReadWrite.All` | Read and write all OneNote notebooks that the user can access |
| `offline_access` | Maintain access to data the user has granted |


1. Click **Save**.


Keep your credentials secure
Never share or commit your Client Secret to version control.
