Installing Sparrow On New SharePoint Sites

This process ensures the correct permissions, authentication settings, installation steps, and configurations are in place for Sparrow to function properly on the new SharePoint site.

Step 1 - Allow Scripts on new Site - Permissions Required - SharePoint Tenant Admin

  1. Go to SharePoint Admin > Active Sites
  2. Click on the site name Intranet, then click Edit
    3. Under Custom Scripts, Click Edit
  3. Click Allowed and Save
  4. Click Confirm when it prompts you to Allow users to add custom scripts

 This has been done today, but you'll have to do it everytime you want to edit the content on the site


Step 2 - Add Redirect URI in Azure - Permissions Required - Global Azure Admin

Secondly, in order for Sparrow web parts to work on that site, can we please add a new redirect URI for this site in the Sparrow SharePoint SSO app registration? 

Instructions are as follows

Step 3 - Add the App to SharePoint - Permissions Required - Site Collection Admin

  1. While on the new site, click the gear in the top right corner and click Add an App
  2. You'll be redirected to My Apps.  Here, click Add next to Sparrow Intranet Modern

Step 4 - Configure App Properties - Permissions Required - Site Collection Admin

  1. Visit a page that already has Sparrow installed
  2. Add the Configuration properties web part to the page and click Save.  You'll see something like this
  3. You'll then want to open a page on your new site, add the Configuration properties web part again and copy over all the above values (from your working Sparrow site, not the above example)

  4. Once you've added the values, click Save.  You'll then receive a message confirming changes have been saved
