+# Azure Functions for SharePoint webhooks using azd
+
+[Azure Developer CLI (azd)](https://aka.ms/azd) is an open-source tool that accelerates provisioning and deploying app resources in Azure.
+
+This article uses the [Azure function app for SharePoint webhooks public template](https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azd-functions-sharepoint-webhooks) to deploy an Azure function app that connects to your SharePoint Online tenant, to register and manage [webhooks](overview-sharepoint-webhooks.md), and process the notifications from SharePoint.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- [Node.js 20](https://www.nodejs.org/)
+- [Azure Functions Core Tools](/azure/azure-functions/functions-run-local)
+- [Azure Developer CLI (azd)](/azure/developer/azure-developer-cli/install-azd)
+- An Azure subscription that trusts the same Microsoft Entra ID directory as the SharePoint tenant
+
+## Permissions required to provision the resources in Azure
+
+The account running **azd** must have at least the following roles to successfully provision the resources:
+
+- Azure role **[Contributor](/azure/role-based-access-control/built-in-roles/privileged#contributor)**: To create all the resources needed
+- Azure role **[Role Based Access Control Administrator](/azure/role-based-access-control/built-in-roles/privileged#role-based-access-control-administrator)**: To assign roles (to access the storage account and Application Insights) to the managed identity of the function app
+
+## Deploy the function app in Azure
+
+1. Run **azd init** from an empty local (root) folder:
+
+ ```console
+ azd init --template azd-functions-sharepoint-webhooks
+ ```
+
+ Enter an environment name, such as **spofuncs-quickstart** when prompted. In **azd**, the environment is used to maintain a unique deployment context for your app.
+
+1. Open the file **infra/main.parameters.json**, and set the variables `TenantPrefix` and `siteRelativePath` to match your SharePoint tenant.
+
+ Review the article on [Manage environment variables](/azure/developer/azure-developer-cli/manage-environment-variables) to manage the azd's environment variables.
+
+1. Finally, run the command **azd up** to build the app, provision the resources in Azure and deploy the app package.
+
+## Grant the function app access to SharePoint Online
+
+The authentication to SharePoint is done using `DefaultAzureCredential`, so the credential used depends on whether the function app runs locally, or in Azure.
+
+If you never heard about `DefaultAzureCredential`, you should familiarize yourself with its concept by referring to the section **Use DefaultAzureCredential for flexibility** in [Credential chains in the Azure Identity client library for JavaScript](/azure/developer/javascript/sdk/authentication/credential-chains).
+
+### Using its managed identity
+
+`DefaultAzureCredential` will use a managed identity to authenticate to SharePoint. This may be the existing, system-assigned managed identity of the function app service or a user-assigned managed identity.
+
+This tutorial assumes the system-assigned managed identity is used.
+
+#### Grant the SharePoint API permission Sites.Selected to the managed identity
+
+Navigate to your function app in the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/#blade/HubsExtension/BrowseResourceBlade/resourceType/Microsoft.Web%2Fsites/kind/functionapp) > select **Identity** and note the **Object (principal) ID** of the system-assigned managed identity.
+
+In this tutorial, it is **d3e8dc41-94f2-4b0f-82ff-ed03c363f0f8**.
+
+Then, use one of the scripts below to grant this identity the app-only permission **Sites.Selected** on the SharePoint API:
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The scripts below require at least the delegated permission [`AppRoleAssignment.ReadWrite.All`](/graph/permissions-reference#approleassignmentreadwriteall) (requires admin consent)
+
+
+ Using the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK
+
+```powershell
+# This script requires the modules Microsoft.Graph.Authentication, Microsoft.Graph.Applications, Microsoft.Graph.Identity.SignIns, which can be installed with the cmdlet Install-Module below:
+# Install-Module Microsoft.Graph.Authentication, Microsoft.Graph.Applications, Microsoft.Graph.Identity.SignIns -Scope CurrentUser -Repository PSGallery -Force
+Connect-MgGraph -Scope "Application.Read.All", "AppRoleAssignment.ReadWrite.All"
+$managedIdentityObjectId = "d3e8dc41-94f2-4b0f-82ff-ed03c363f0f8" # 'Object (principal) ID' of the managed identity
+$scopeName = "Sites.Selected"
+$resourceAppPrincipalObj = Get-MgServicePrincipal -Filter "displayName eq 'Office 365 SharePoint Online'" # SPO
+$targetAppPrincipalAppRole = $resourceAppPrincipalObj.AppRoles | ? Value -eq $scopeName
+
+$appRoleAssignment = @{
+ "principalId" = $managedIdentityObjectId
+ "resourceId" = $resourceAppPrincipalObj.Id
+ "appRoleId" = $targetAppPrincipalAppRole.Id
+}
+New-MgServicePrincipalAppRoleAssignment -ServicePrincipalId $managedIdentityObjectId -BodyParameter $appRoleAssignment | Format-List
+```
+
+
+
+ Using az cli in Bash
+
+```bash
+managedIdentityObjectId="d3e8dc41-94f2-4b0f-82ff-ed03c363f0f8" # 'Object (principal) ID' of the managed identity
+resourceServicePrincipalId=$(az ad sp list --query '[].[id]' --filter "displayName eq 'Office 365 SharePoint Online'" -o tsv)
+resourceServicePrincipalAppRoleId="$(az ad sp show --id $resourceServicePrincipalId --query "appRoles[?starts_with(value, 'Sites.Selected')].[id]" -o tsv)"
+
+az rest --method POST --uri "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/servicePrincipals/${managedIdentityObjectId}/appRoleAssignments" --headers 'Content-Type=application/json' --body "{ 'principalId': '${managedIdentityObjectId}', 'resourceId': '${resourceServicePrincipalId}', 'appRoleId': '${resourceServicePrincipalAppRoleId}' }"
+```
+
+
+#### Grant the managed identity effective access to a SharePoint site
+
+Navigate to the [Enterprise applications](https://entra.microsoft.com/#view/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/StartboardApplicationsMenuBlade/) > Set the **Application type** filter to **Managed Identities** > select your managed identity and note its **Application ID**.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> In this tutorial, it is **3150363e-afbe-421f-9785-9d5404c5ae34**.
+
+Then, use one of the scripts below to grant it the app-only permission **manage** (minimum required to register a webhook) on a specific SharePoint site:
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The app registration used to run those scripts must have at least the following permissions:
+>
+> - Delegated permission **Application.ReadWrite.All** in the Graph API (requires admin consent)
+> - Delegated permission **AllSites.FullControl** in the SharePoint API (requires admin consent)
+
+
+ Using PnP PowerShell
+
+[PnP PowerShell](https://pnp.github.io/powershell/cmdlets/Grant-PnPAzureADAppSitePermission.html)
+
+```powershell
+Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://YOUR_SHAREPOINT_TENANT_PREFIX.sharepoint.com/sites/YOUR_SHAREPOINT_SITE_NAME" -Interactive -ClientId "YOUR_PNP_APP_CLIENT_ID"
+Grant-PnPAzureADAppSitePermission -AppId "3150363e-afbe-421f-9785-9d5404c5ae34" -DisplayName "YOUR_FUNC_APP_NAME" -Permissions Manage
+```
+
+
+
+ Using m365 cli in Bash
+
+[m365 cli](https://pnp.github.io/cli-microsoft365/cmd/spo/site/site-apppermission-add/)
+
+```bash
+targetapp="3150363e-afbe-421f-9785-9d5404c5ae34"
+siteUrl="https://YOUR_SHAREPOINT_TENANT_PREFIX.sharepoint.com/sites/YOUR_SHAREPOINT_SITE_NAME"
+m365 spo site apppermission add --appId $targetapp --permission manage --siteUrl $siteUrl
+```
+
+
+## Call the function app
+
+For security reasons, when running in Azure, the function app requires an app key to pass in the query string parameter **code**. The app keys are found in the function app service's **App Keys** keys page.
+
+Most HTTP functions take optional parameters `TenantPrefix` and `siteRelativePath`. If they are not specified, the values in the app's environment variables are used.
+
+Below is a sample script in PowerShell to call the function app:
+
+```powershell
+# Edit those variables to match your environment
+$funchost = "YOUR_FUNC_APP_NAME"
+$code = "YOUR_HOST_KEY"
+$listTitle = "YOUR_SHAREPOINT_LIST"
+$notificationUrl = "https://${funchost}.azurewebsites.net/api/webhooks/service?code=${code}"
+
+# List all the webhooks registered on a list
+Invoke-RestMethod -Method GET -Uri "https://${funchost}.azurewebsites.net/api/webhooks/list?code=${code}&listTitle=${listTitle}"
+
+# Register a webhook in a list
+Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri "https://${funchost}.azurewebsites.net/api/webhooks/register?code=${code}&listTitle=${listTitle}¬ificationUrl=${notificationUrl}"
+
+# Show this webhook registered on a list
+Invoke-RestMethod -Method GET -Uri "https://${funchost}.azurewebsites.net/api/webhooks/show?code=${code}&listTitle=${listTitle}¬ificationUrl=${notificationUrl}"
+
+# Remove the webhook from a list
+# Step 1: Call the function /webhooks/show to get the webhook id
+$webhookId = $(Invoke-RestMethod -Method GET -Uri "https://${funchost}.azurewebsites.net/api/webhooks/show?code=${code}&listTitle=${listTitle}¬ificationUrl=${notificationUrl}").Id
+# Step 2: Call the function /webhooks/remove and pass the webhook id
+Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri "https://${funchost}.azurewebsites.net/api/webhooks/remove?code=${code}&listTitle=${listTitle}&webhookId=${webhookId}"
+```
+
+## Cleanup the resources in Azure
+
+You can delete all the resources this project created in Azure, by running the command **azd down**.
+
+Alternatively, you can delete the resource group, that has the azd environment's name by default.
