Summary

Portflow integrates with various other tools and platforms, in addition to the LMSes Canvas, Brightspace, Blackboard and Moodle. This article describes the various integrations.

File picker: Microsoft OneDrive integration

Description

Functionality 

Users can add files to their Portfolio directly from their OneDrive (personal/work/school) cloud storage.

Advantage 

This makes it easy to directly upload files from OneDrive to the Portfolio without the need to download it to the local machine and upload it afterward.

Location 

In a Collection, or on the 'My evidence' tab > 'Add evidence' > 'File upload' > 'Open OneDrive'

Availability 

This is a feature option. Portflow admins can enable or disable this feature in the admin panel. Disabling the feature does not impact previously imported files from OneDrive.

Protocol/API 

For this integration, we make use of the following Microsoft API permissions that are required for the OneDrive/SharePoint file picker.

Note: Portflow can only access the files the user has selected once.

Microsoft Graph (used for personal OneDrive accounts):

  • Files.Read.All - Read all files that the user can access (own files and files that are shared with them)

  • Sites.Read.All - Read items in all site collections

  • User.Read - Sign in and read user profile

SharePoint (used for professional/institution OneDrive/SharePoint accounts):

  • MyFiles.Read - Read user files

  • AllSites.Read - Read items in all site collections (required to access files that are shared with the user)

End of use

  • Personal OneDrive permissions can be revoked by users by removing Portflow from the apps and services they have given access to in their Microsoft account (account.live.com/consent/Manage).

  • Professional OneDrive permissions can be revoked by organization admins in Microsoft Entra admin center (entra.microsoft.com) under Enterprise applications (look for Portflow).

Location 

In the main menu, click the user avatar and choose 'Alumnus Login'.

Availability 

This is a feature option. Portflow admins can enable or disable this feature in the admin panel. Disabling the feature will disallow access from linked personal accounts to Portflow.
