Semaphore for SharePoint Online administration

This section reviews some of the common administration tasks needed for Semaphore for SharePoint Online.

SharePoint Online user access to Semaphore information

If you have configured an Organizational Account, any users in the organization using the same Entra directory can access Semaphore configuration information. When a user first attempts to access this information, the user will need to click on Login and click Log in with Active Directory. After clicking the button, an account is created in Semaphore for SharePoint Online. The account has read-only access to the configuration information.

Remove Semaphore support from a Site Collection

To remove Semaphore support for a specific site collection:

1. In a web browser, log into your Progress Data Cloud tenancy.
2. From the configuration menu, click SharePoint Online.
3. From the Subscriptions list at the top of the page, select the appropriate subscription.
4. From the Sites tab, click on the relevant site collection.
5. Under Deployment Details, ensure that custom scripts are enabled.
   1. If Blocked appears, click on the Enable link.
   2. After clicking the link, a SharePoint Online screen appears where custom scripts can be enabled. It will take a few seconds before the Progress Data Cloud page displays the updated status.
6. On the right side of the Deployment Details section of the page, click Retract. The Retract function will only be available if the interface has previously been deployed, and if Blocked does not appear next to Custom scripts.
