Clerk Chat requires a set of permissions to your Microsoft tenant in order to properly configure your phone numbers. We prioritize security and have undergone thorough approval processes with Microsoft, as well as third-party audits, to ensure your data stays safe. Rest assured, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of security and compliance.

Let's go through each permission individually and explain its function.

Access Microsoft Teams and Skype for Business data as the signed in user

This permission enables the Clerk Chat app to access information about the phone numbers linked to your tenant. It allows us to identify which numbers are assigned to users, and how PSTN connectivity is set up within your tenant. This permission does not grant access to any other business data.

Maintain access to data you have given it access to

This permission is required with any Microsoft tenant application. It allows Clerk Chat to refresh authentication tokens, which is essential for the app's functionality and user login to the app. This permission does not provide the app with any additional permissions.

Read all users' full profiles

This permission enables Clerk Chat to access user names and email addresses from your tenant. This data is then synced to Clerk Chat to accurately display user details and enhance the personalized user experience.

‘Should I consent on the behalf of your organization?‘

Our suggestion is to accept on behalf of organization. This allows an admin to grant permissions to Clerk Chat for all users within the organization. When an administrator consents on behalf of the organization, it eliminates the need for individual users to provide consent when using the application, streamlining deployment and access.
