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

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
The app has been developed by David Simpson Apps, a trading name of Concise Web Design Limited. We are an authorised Microsoft Partner.
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 solution for hosting apps on a secure, reliable, and scalable infrastructure.
