Connect Claude to Microsoft 365
What Claude and Microsoft 365 document about their connection: what it does, what it takes to turn it on, what it costs and the data that passes from one to the other. Each fact with its source at the vendor and its date.
What the connection does
- What it does. The Microsoft 365 connection lets Claude search and analyze content from SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook and Teams in the work account (according to Anthropic's documentation, read on 10/16/2026).
- The direction. In both directions.
- The mode. Through an integration offered by the vendor.
What it takes to turn it on
- The editions or licenses required. The Microsoft 365 connection is available on all Claude plans: Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise (according to Anthropic's documentation, read on 10/16/2026).
- What it costs on top, or how it is billed. Not documented by the vendor.
- Who turns it on. On the Team and Enterprise plans, an owner must first explicitly enable Microsoft 365 in the Claude organization settings; until that approval is given, members have no access (according to Anthropic's documentation, read on 10/16/2026).
- The prerequisites. Personal Microsoft accounts do not work, and a Microsoft Entra Global Administrator must give a one-time consent before anyone in the tenant can connect (according to Anthropic's documentation, read on 10/16/2026).
The data that flows
- What passes. The connection acts as a proxy: Microsoft 365 documents, emails and files stay in the tenant, and data is retrieved only on demand during active requests, without caching file content (according to Anthropic's documentation, read on 10/16/2026).
- Whether the source tool's permissions are respected. Claude respects each user's existing Microsoft 365 permissions: members cannot reach through Claude anything they could not already see directly in Microsoft 365 (according to Anthropic's documentation, read on 10/16/2026).
- Where the data is processed. Connected services process data on their own infrastructure, under their own terms, and that infrastructure may be outside the United States (according to Anthropic's documentation, read on 10/16/2026).
- Training. For commercial products (for example Claude for Work, the API, Claude Gov), inputs and outputs are not used by default to train the models (according to Anthropic's documentation, read on 10/16/2026).
- Retention. Tool results from the connection that are part of saved conversations are retained (according to Anthropic's documentation, read on 10/16/2026).
With Ojja
Ojja tells you whether you already pay for both tools, whether the connection is turned on in your company, who uses it, and the usage before and after: it is the “Connect” lever of what your tools can already do.
What Ojja never does
- Ojja does not advise you to choose a vendor: it records what each one documents.
- Ojja does not say whether a use is permitted: it gives the facts, and the points to review with your counsel.
Ojja does not provide legal advice: it records and documents; how the law applies to your situation is for your counsel to determine.
