Connecting Platforms

Overview

MigrateData uses OAuth 2.0 to securely connect to your platforms. Each connection requires admin-level consent to access user data for migration.

Google Workspace

Required role: Super Admin

1. Go to Settings → Connections → Add Connection
2. Select Google Workspace
3. Sign in with your Super Admin account
4. Grant the requested API scopes (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Admin SDK, etc.)
5. The connection will show as "Connected" with a green indicator

Scopes requested: Gmail (read/write), Calendar, Drive, Contacts, Admin SDK (user management), Groups, Chat

Microsoft 365

Required role: Global Administrator

1. Select Microsoft 365 from the Add Connection dialog
2. Sign in with your Global Admin account
3. Grant admin consent for the organization
4. Approve the requested Microsoft Graph permissions

Permissions: Mail.ReadWrite, Calendars.ReadWrite, Contacts.ReadWrite, Files.ReadWrite.All, User.Read.All, Group.ReadWrite.All, Chat.ReadWrite.All

Box, Dropbox

Each cloud storage platform uses standard OAuth:

1. Select the platform
2. Sign in with an admin account
3. Grant the requested permissions
4. Connection is established

ShareFile

ShareFile requires customer-owned OAuth credentials registered in the ShareFile API Portal.

• Setup: Configure your ShareFile OAuth app under Settings → Custom OAuth Apps before connecting
• Connect: Enter your account subdomain and authorize with an admin account

Managing Connections

• View all connections in Settings → Connections
• Connections show status (Connected, Expired, Error)
• Token refresh is automatic — MigrateData refreshes OAuth tokens before they expire
• You can disconnect and reconnect at any time

Custom OAuth Apps (Enterprise)

Enterprise customers can use their own OAuth credentials instead of MigrateData's shared app registration. This provides higher API rate limits, your app name in consent prompts, and full control over OAuth scopes. See Settings → Custom OAuth Apps to configure.
