Entry point function that runs a SharePoint permission diagnostic tool, testing different authentication scopes and providing troubleshooting guidance.

Purpose

This function serves as the main orchestrator for a SharePoint permission diagnostic utility. It executes two test functions (test_different_scopes and test_tenant_admin_center_approach) to diagnose SharePoint app-only authentication issues, then displays a summary of potential solutions for enabling app-only tokens and proper app registration. It's designed to help developers troubleshoot SharePoint API authentication problems.

Source Code

def main():
    """Main diagnostic function."""
    print("SharePoint Permission Diagnostic Tool")
    print("=" * 50)
    
    test_different_scopes()
    print()
    test_tenant_admin_center_approach()
    
    print("\n" + "=" * 50)
    print("📋 Summary of Solutions to Try:")
    print("1. Use SharePoint Admin Center to enable app-only tokens")
    print("2. Use API Management to approve permissions")
    print("3. Use PowerShell with PnP to register the app properly")
    print("4. Contact your SharePoint admin to enable app-only authentication")

Return Value

This function returns None (implicitly). It performs side effects by printing diagnostic information and test results to stdout.

Usage Example

# Assuming test_different_scopes() and test_tenant_admin_center_approach() are defined
import requests
import json

def test_different_scopes():
    print("Testing different authentication scopes...")
    # Implementation here

def test_tenant_admin_center_approach():
    print("Testing tenant admin center approach...")
    # Implementation here

def main():
    """Main diagnostic function."""
    print("SharePoint Permission Diagnostic Tool")
    print("=" * 50)
    
    test_different_scopes()
    print()
    test_tenant_admin_center_approach()
    
    print("\n" + "=" * 50)
    print("📋 Summary of Solutions to Try:")
    print("1. Use SharePoint Admin Center to enable app-only tokens")
    print("2. Use API Management to approve permissions")
    print("3. Use PowerShell with PnP to register the app properly")
    print("4. Contact your SharePoint admin to enable app-only authentication")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Best Practices

• This function should be called as the main entry point of the diagnostic script, typically within an if __name__ == '__main__': block
• Ensure that test_different_scopes() and test_tenant_admin_center_approach() functions are properly defined before calling main()
• The function assumes console output is available and appropriate for the execution environment
• Consider adding error handling around the test function calls to prevent the entire diagnostic from failing if one test encounters an error
• The function provides guidance but does not automatically fix issues - manual intervention by SharePoint administrators may be required
