Required permissions

  1. Since you're granting tenant scoped permissions this granting can only be done via the appinv.aspx page on the tenant administration site. You can reach this site by typing the address: https://tenantName-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appinv.aspx. (replace the tenantName with your tenant name). Once the page is loaded, do as follow:

  2. Enter your App Id (client ID) and click the Lookup button.

  3. Enter the App Domain name.

  4. In the "App's Permission Request XML" window enter the following lines:

    <AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="true">
        <AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/tenant" 
         Right="FullControl" />
     </AppPermissionRequests>
    
  5. When you click on the Create button you'll be presented with a permission consent dialog. Press the Trust It button to grant the permissions.

  6. Open Powershell command prompt and execute the command:

    Connect-SPOService https://tenantName-admin.sharepoint.com
    Set-SPOTenant -LegacyAuthProtocolsEnabled $True

It enables the LegacyAuthProtocolsEnabled setting.
