Why these permissions are needed.

When you connect this app to your Google Calendar, it will request a variety of permissions to ensure seamless integration and functionality. These permissions enable automatic event updates, prevent scheduling conflicts, and allow for personalized calendar management within Talks.

Key Features and Permissions

1. Sign in with Organizational Account

This feature enables users to authenticate using their Office 365 credentials. It grants the app permission to:

  • Read the user's profile information.

  • Access basic company details.

This ensures a smooth login experience without requiring separate credentials for the app.

2. Maintain Access to Authorized Data

This permission allows the app to:

  • Continue accessing granted data even when the user is not actively using the app.

  • Update the accessed data without requiring additional permissions.

This helps in keeping the data synchronized and up to date without manual intervention.

3. Full Access to Calendars

With this permission, the app can:

  • Read, update, create, and delete events in the user’s calendars.

  • Sync schedules and events between Office 365 and the app.

This is useful for managing meetings, appointments, and other calendar-based activities efficiently.

4. Manage Tasks and Task Lists

The app gains the ability to:

  • Create, read, update, and delete tasks and task lists.

  • Access shared tasks within the organization.

This feature enhances productivity by allowing task synchronization and management directly within the app.

Security and Compliance

All permissions requested by the app comply with Microsoft’s security policies and best practices. The integration ensures that:

  • Users have control over their data access permissions.

  • Data is securely handled, stored, and synchronized with Office 365.

  • The app does not gain any additional permissions beyond what is explicitly granted.
