# Azure Mail Integration SimpleSign

## Send secure and authenticated emails directly from your Azure account using SimpleSign.

#### **Step 1: Register Your Application in Azure Active Directory**

1. **Sign in to the Azure Portal**:  
   ​

     - Go to [Azure Active Directory](https://portal.azure.com/).
2. **Register a New Application**:  
   ​

     - Navigate to **Azure Active Directory** \> **App registrations** \> **New registration**.
     - Name your application (e.g., "SimpleSign OAuth Email").
     - **Redirect URI** (optional, not needed in this case)
     - Click **Register**.
3. **API Permissions**:  
   ​

     - Ensure that your app registration in Azure has the appropriate **Application Permissions** (not Delegated Permissions) for Mail.Send or Mail.Send.Shared.
     - Grant **admin consent** for those permissions in Azure.
     - Click **Grant admin consent**.
4. **Generate Client Secret**:  
   ​

     - Go to **Certificates & secrets** and create a new client secret.
     - Copy and save the secret because it will only be shown once.
5. **Record the Following Values**:  
   ​

     - **Client ID** (from the overview page).
     - **Tenant ID** (from the overview page).
     - **Client Secret** (from the step above).

#### **Step 2: Configure a Service Mailbox in Microsoft 365**

To configure a **service mailbox** in your organization’s Azure AD tenant, you need to create a mailbox that is managed by your organization and is typically used by applications or services to send emails (e.g., for notifications or automated messages). Below are the steps to set up a **service mailbox** using Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) and configure the necessary permissions in Azure AD.

#### 1. **Create a Service Mailbox (User Mailbox) in Microsoft 365**

 

**Sign in to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center**:

- - Go to the **Microsoft 365 Admin Center**: [admin.microsoft.com](https://admin.microsoft.com/).
    - Use your admin credentials to sign in.

**Create a New User**:

- - In the left-hand menu, select **Users \> Active Users**.
    - Click **Add a user**.
    - Provide the details for the user (this will act as the service mailbox). For example:

          - **Display Name**: Service Mailbox
          - **Username**: [service@example.com](mailto:service@example.com)
    - Assign a **Microsoft 365 license** that includes access to **Exchange Online** (e.g., an Exchange Online Plan 1 or 2 license, or Microsoft 365 Business Basic).

 

**Complete the Setup**:

- - Finish the setup and assign a temporary password for the new user.
    - After the user is created, you can change the password and ensure it’s a secure password.

#### 2. **Grant API Permissions to Send Emails Using Azure AD**

Once the service mailbox is created, you need to grant your Azure AD application the appropriate permissions to send emails on behalf of the service mailbox.

**Sign in to the Azure AD Portal**:

- Go to the [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com/) and sign in with your admin credentials.

**Navigate to Your App Registration**:

- - In the left-hand menu, go to **Azure Active Directory**.
    - Under **Manage**, select **App registrations**.
    - Find and select the application you want to configure for sending emails.

**Add Microsoft Graph API Permissions**:

- - Under **Manage**, select **API permissions**.
    - Click **Add permission**.
    - Select **Microsoft Graph**.
    - Choose **Application permissions** (since this is an app using client credentials, not a delegated user).

**Select Mail Permissions**:

- - Scroll down to find the **Mail** permissions.
    - Choose the following:

          - **Mail.Send**: Allows the application to send mail as any user (or the service mailbox).
          - **Mail.Send.Shared**: (Optional) Allows the application to send mail from a shared mailbox if needed.

**Grant Admin Consent**:

- - After adding the permissions, click **Grant admin consent** to ensure that the permissions are granted organization-wide for the app.

**Verify Permissions**:

1. - Ensure that both **Mail.Send** and **Mail.Send.Shared** (if applicable) are listed under **Application permissions**.

**Step 3: SimpleSign Add-on Activation**   
​

1. - Navigate to **SimpleSign Add-on section**.
     - Search for **Azure Mail Integration**
