I am new to SharePoint but not having any luck. Please correct me if I am wrong on the process so far.

I am using react and need to create a CRUD app in react for SharePoint, so to do this I need to register the app with this link https://yourtenantname.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appregnew.aspx and then when I want to send a rest request I send the token I just created. Have tried connecting but getting a 403 error.

Just confused with the process of linking my react app with SharePoint folder recieving and sending data.

Any sugestions would help or articles.

  • If you are using React, I would look into using the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) instead. It's basically built on top of React, so you will be in familiar territory. Some starter articles here and here.

@user98244:

You are missing an important step if your question actually represents the steps you’re taking.

After you register the app and acquire the Client ID & Client Secret, you need to grant the app permissions from the SharePoint Admin console. Use the GUI, not PowerShell - it’s a lot less typing and only requires a couple clicks.

See Microsoft article here. It gives a nice walk through of how to perform all the steps. This article has been my go-to when implementing tenant-wide apps - which is infrequent.

Caveat: the app will have complete God access (i.e.: SharePoint Administrator access), so craft your application taking this into account.
