Permissions requested

The app has been developed by David Simpson Apps, a trading name of Concise Web Design Limited. We are an authorised Microsoft Partner.
The various permissions, and why they are required:
Maintain access to data you have given it access to
We store an access token with monday.com’s hosted “monday-code” secure storage in the monday.com infrastructure so that you can use the app can perform operations on your files.
Send mail as you
This permission is solely used to request access to files that other users need to share with you for access in monday.com.
Sign you in and read your profile
So that your details can be displayed in monday.com, and you can be contacted if you have not shared file access to others in Microsoft 365
Have full access to all files you have access to
So that you can perform operations on your files from within monday.com
Edit or delete items in all site collections
So that you can perform operations on your files from within monday.com
Although our app performs all the logic, we do not access your data, as all compute activity is performed on monday.com infrastructure using monday code, a platform for hosting apps on a secure, reliable, and scalable infrastructure.
The monday code platform is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified, and GDPR & HIPAA compliant.
Accept button
To continue using the app, press the “Accept” button.
Approval required
If you try to sign in to Microsoft 365 as a user without administration permission, before you can use the app, your company’s Microsoft 365 admin will need to approve use of the app or some other internal approvals workflow within your company will need to be performed. Only then can you use the app.
If you require admin approval, you will instead see the one of the following screens after the Microsoft login screen:
If you see either of the above screens, your Microsoft 365 admin will need to approve access to the app.
