Enables integration with Microsoft Graph.
The component handles authentication and HTTP requests, but you will need to refer to the the Graph API documentation to learn how each API is used. The Graph Explorer is also a valuable tool for experimenting with Graph APIs.
The system settings GraphDefaultTenantId and GraphDefaultCredentials may be used to set defaults for the credentials used to access Graph.
Component settings

Id of the menu group to show after execution (instead of former menu item). This value overrides any destination specified by the query string.
ADMIN_ForwardMenuItem optional string
ADMIN_ForwardMenuItemId optional int
Deprecated. Use ADMIN_ForwardMenuItem instead.
Id of the menu item to execute after execution (instead of former menu item). This value overrides any destination specified by the query string.
ADMIN_Message optional string

SQL Call: Validate parameters
Allows you to validate the SQL parameters before any other SQL is run in the component. This call is only made if the SQL is a stored procedure and Validate parameters is checked.
Parameters
Resultset: Messages (optional)
Columns
ADMIN_Force optional string
ADMIN_Message optional string
Custom access control and logging
SQL Call: Custom access control and logging
Use this call to restrict which entries a user is allowed to view and edit, and to log which entries a user views.
Access to a menu item is normally controlled through functions and roles alone but some entities need more fine grained control. For example, a user may have access to the View Member menu item for normal members but not for members with a protected identity.
The menu items a user visits are always logged (in ADMINLogMenuItem) but for sensitive data you may need to log exactly what entries are viewed. Do the logging in this call as the common ways of viewing data (grid and InfoSQL) are not allowed to modify the database.
If you bind a scalar function instead of a stored procedure to this call then its name must end with '_GrantAccess'.
Resultset: Access permissions
Columns
GrantAccess mandatory bit
If 0 then an error will be logged as the user should not have been able to reach the menu item with the given parameters in the first place.
