Is it possible to authenticate with Service Principal-Sharepoint connection to a Teams group path?

I need to register an APP and allow it to access a Sharepoint site (as a Teams group). I have this documentation to follow: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-factory/connector-sharepoint-online-list#step-1-specify-the-new-connection-name-type-and-url

And it says the Sharepoint URL must have this format: https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/siteName

However, when you create a new Teams group, the associated Sharepoint site has the following format: https://contoso.sharepoint.com/teams/teamsGroupName.

I'm having issues allowing registered APP to access this Sharepoint-Teams group content.

Is this possible?

Hi amaaiia ,

I think you can do the steps below:

1. Register the App in Azure AD:
Go to the Azure portal.
Navigate to Azure Active Directory > App registrations > New registration.
Fill in the required details and register the app.

2. Grant Permissions to the App:
After registering the app, go to the API permissions section.
Add the necessary permissions for SharePoint, such as Sites.Read.All or Sites.FullControl.All.
Grant admin consent for the permissions.

3. Configure the SharePoint Site:
Navigate to the SharePoint site associated with your Teams group.
Go to Site permissions and add the registered app with the required permissions.

4. Use the Correct URL Format:
When configuring the app in Fabric Data Factory, use the URL format specific to your Teams group, e.g., https://contoso.sharepoint.com/teams/teamsGroupName.

5. Set Up the Connection in Fabric Data Factory:
In Fabric Data Factory, go to the Manage section.
Select Linked services and create a new linked service for SharePoint.
Use the registered app’s credentials and the correct SharePoint site URL.
