This section describes how to configure the integration between SharePoint Online and Clarizen. For more about the benefits and how to manage SharePoint content in Clarizen, click here.
The integration with SharePoint online includes the following stages:
Supported Versions and Unsupported Functionality
- Permissions are based on permissions in SharePoint. For example, you cannot access SharePoint files via Clarizen if you do not have direct access to the same file in SharePoint.
