Microsoft Azure Developer: Integrating an App or Service with Microsoft Graph
Microsoft Graph is the gateway to Microsoft 365 data—and most developers aren’t leveraging it effectively. This course teaches you to authenticate, query, and integrate Graph APIs into production Azure applications, unlocking user data, Teams collaboration, and enterprise workflows without reinventing the wheel.
AIU.ac Verdict: Essential for Azure developers building enterprise apps that need access to Microsoft 365 ecosystems. You’ll gain hands-on Graph integration skills in under an hour. Note: assumes foundational Azure and C# knowledge—not a beginner’s entry point.
What This Course Covers
This course walks through authenticating against Microsoft Graph, managing permissions and consent flows, and querying Microsoft 365 resources (users, groups, calendar, Teams data) from your Azure application. You’ll learn practical patterns for token handling, error management, and real-world scenarios like pulling user profiles or accessing shared mailboxes.
You’ll also explore best practices for scoping permissions, handling throttling, and integrating Graph calls into existing Azure services. The hands-on labs use sandboxed environments so you can test authentication flows and API calls without touching production infrastructure.
Who Is This Course For?
Ideal for:
- Azure backend developers: Building APIs or services that need Microsoft 365 data access (Teams, SharePoint, Exchange, OneDrive)
- Enterprise application architects: Designing integrations between custom apps and Microsoft 365 ecosystems for large organisations
- C# / .NET developers upskilling: Already comfortable with Azure basics; ready to unlock Graph capabilities for client work
May not suit:
- Complete Azure beginners: You’ll need prior experience with Azure services, authentication concepts, and C# to follow effectively
- Frontend-only developers: This focuses on backend integration; if you’re building client-side apps, you may need supplementary resources on token handling in browsers
