Third-Party Services

This plugin connects to external services operated by Microsoft. These services are required for the plugin to function. No data is sent to the plugin author or any other party.

Microsoft Identity Platform (OAuth 2.0)

What it is: Microsoft’s authentication service, used to obtain an access token so the plugin can read OneDrive on behalf of the connected Microsoft account.

When it is used:

  • When a site administrator clicks “Connect Microsoft” on the plugin settings page, the browser is redirected to Microsoft’s login page to complete the OAuth flow.
  • When the stored access token expires, the plugin silently exchanges the refresh token for a new access token in the background. This happens during a REST API request from a site visitor if the token has expired.

Data sent:

  • OAuth authorization code (exchanged for tokens; issued by Microsoft and sent back to Microsoft only).
  • Client ID and client secret (your Azure App Registration credentials; sent to Microsoft to identify your app).
  • Refresh token (sent to Microsoft when refreshing an expired access token).

No visitor data (IP addresses, user accounts, browsing behaviour) is sent to Microsoft through the OAuth endpoints.

Service endpoint: https://login.microsoftonline.com/

Microsoft Privacy Statement: https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement
Microsoft Services Agreement: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/servicesagreement

Microsoft Graph API

What it is: Microsoft’s REST API for accessing OneDrive files and folders.

When it is used:

  • When a visitor views a page containing the [so_doc_library] shortcode, the plugin calls the Graph API to list the contents of the configured OneDrive folder.
  • When a visitor searches, browses into a subfolder, or requests a file download or open link, additional Graph API calls are made.
  • When a new library is saved and its share URL is first resolved, the plugin calls the Graph API to look up the folder identity.

Data sent:

  • The OneDrive folder share URL configured by the site administrator (sent to resolve the shared folder identity).
  • Access token (sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header to authenticate each request).
  • Folder and file identifiers (sent to navigate folder contents, retrieve items, and generate download links).
  • Search query strings entered by visitors (sent to the Graph API search endpoint).

No personally identifiable visitor information is sent to Microsoft through the Graph API. Search queries and folder identifiers are functional data needed solely to retrieve the requested files.

Service endpoint: https://graph.microsoft.com/

Microsoft Privacy Statement: https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement
Microsoft Services Agreement: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/servicesagreement
Microsoft Graph terms of use: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/microsoft-apis/terms-of-use

Data storage

The plugin stores the following in the WordPress database:

  • Your Azure App Registration Client ID (plain text WordPress option).
  • Your client secret value (AES-256 encrypted WordPress option; never exposed in the admin UI after saving).
  • The OAuth access token and refresh token (AES-256 encrypted WordPress option).
  • Library configuration (folder share URLs, access settings, display options) as a WordPress option.

All stored data is removed automatically when the plugin is uninstalled.

User tracking

This plugin does not track, profile, or fingerprint site visitors. No analytics, telemetry, or third-party tracking scripts are loaded. The plugin applies server-side rate limiting (based on IP address, stored as a short-lived WordPress transient) solely to protect the REST API endpoints from abuse; IP addresses are hashed and never logged or transmitted externally.

Plugin settings

Microsoft OAuth

Client ID
The Application (client) ID from your Azure App Registration (a GUID). Found in Azure Portal under App registrations → your app → Overview. The plugin validates that this looks like a GUID before allowing you to connect.

Client secret value
The client secret VALUE from Azure Portal → Certificates & secrets → New client secret. Paste the VALUE column — not the Secret ID column. Microsoft only shows the value once, so copy it immediately after creation. Leave blank when saving to keep an existing secret. The value is stored AES-256 encrypted and is never shown again in the admin UI after saving.

Redirect URI
A read-only field showing the callback URL you must register in Azure Portal under your App Registration → Authentication → Platform: Web → Redirect URI. Use the Copy button to copy it.

Connect Microsoft / Disconnect
After a valid Client ID and secret are saved, Connect Microsoft starts the OAuth authorization flow — you will be redirected to Microsoft to sign in and approve access. Disconnect removes the stored access and refresh tokens.

Libraries

Name
A label for this library shown only in the WordPress admin. Not visible to front-end visitors.

Folder Share URL
The OneDrive sharing link for the folder to display. Create it in OneDrive by right-clicking a folder → Share → Anyone with the link → Copy link. The link typically starts with https://1drv.ms/… The Microsoft account connected in the plugin must have access to this link.

Access
Controls who can view the library on the front end:

  • Public — visible to all visitors, no login required.
  • Logged-in users — only visible to WordPress users who are currently signed in.
  • Specific roles — only visible to users whose WordPress role is in the Allowed roles list.

Allowed roles
Only shown when Access is set to Specific roles. Check every WordPress user role that should be permitted to view this library. If no roles are checked, the library is not accessible to anyone.

Hide Open button
Removes the button that opens the file inside OneDrive in a new browser tab. Download is still available unless that button is also hidden.

Hide Download button
Removes the direct download button. The Open button is still available unless that is also hidden.

Remove header from frontend
Removes the library title and breadcrumb navigation bar above the file list. Useful for minimal or fully custom embed layouts.

Icon is preview of file content
When checked, image files show a small thumbnail fetched from OneDrive instead of a generic file icon. This may slightly increase loading time for large folders.

Frontend language
The language used for UI text (button labels, date formats, breadcrumbs) in the embedded library. Defaults to the WordPress site language. Only languages that are both installed in WordPress and available as translation files for this plugin appear in the list.

Root folder label
A custom display name for the top-level folder shown in the breadcrumb. Leave blank to use the actual folder name from OneDrive.

Allowed file extensions
A comma-separated list of extensions to display (e.g. pdf,docx,xlsx). Files with other extensions are hidden. Leave blank to show all file types. Do not include dots. Folders are always visible regardless of this filter.

Installation

  1. Download the plugin from WordPress.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to Settings -> seljeDrive Document Library for OneDrive.

Microsoft OAuth setup (Microsoft Entra ID / Azure App Registration):

  1. Go to https://portal.azure.com/ and open:

    Note: Many Personal (outlook.com) accounts cannot sign in to https://entra.microsoft.com/. Use the Azure Portal (portal.azure.com) instead.

    Microsoft Entra ID -> App registrations -> New registration

  2. Set “Supported account types”:

  • For OneDrive Personal (consumer Microsoft accounts):
    Choose “Personal accounts only”.

    If you see errors about a tenant being blocked due to inactivity (tenant lifecycle policies), switch to a different directory in the Azure Portal or create a new directory (tenant), then register the app there.

    Note: This plugin uses the Microsoft identity platform v2 endpoints for Personal accounts (consumers).

Sharing note:

  • Use a folder sharing link created from OneDrive Personal (typically a https://1drv.ms/… link).
  • The Microsoft account you connect in WordPress must have access to the shared folder link.
  1. Add a Redirect URI:
  • Platform: Web
  • Redirect URI: copy the “Redirect URI” shown on the plugin settings page and paste it here.
  1. Create a client secret and copy its value:

    Certificates & secrets -> New client secret

    Copy the secret VALUE immediately (not the Secret ID). Microsoft only shows the value once.

  2. Configure API permissions:

    API permissions -> Add a permission -> Microsoft Graph -> Delegated permissions
    Add:

  • Files.Read.All

    Then click “Grant admin consent” if shown.

  1. In WordPress (plugin settings page), paste:
  • Client ID (Application (client) ID)
  • Client secret value
  1. Click “Connect Microsoft”, then create one or more libraries.

Frequently asked questions

How do I embed a library?

Create a library in WordPress: Settings -> seljeDrive Document Library for OneDrive -> Libraries -> Add Library After saving, copy the shortcode shown in the Libraries table. Paste the shortcode into a page or post: [so_doc_library id=”YOUR_LIBRARY_ID”] Where do I find YOUR_LIBRARY_ID? It is the internal ID shown in the shortcode column in the Libraries table. You can click “Copy” next to the shortcode to copy it.

Changelog

WordPress 7.1 compatibility, a fix for visitors being incorrectly rate limited while browsing a library, and admin sidebar updates. No database changes required.

1.0.1

  • Tested up to WordPress 7.1
  • Fixed REST rate limiting: the per-visitor limit (60 requests per minute) now uses a fixed one-minute window, so visitors who browse steadily are no longer locked out
  • Removed a redundant uninstall hook registration (cleanup is handled by uninstall.php)
  • Donate button in the admin header now uses a more visible warm orange colour with better text contrast
  • Added Leagues 4 Friends to the Other software section and reordered it (Leagues 4 Friends, sTimeFlow, skrivline)
  • Added a seljeSoft link under Contact in the admin sidebar
  • Renamed translation files to match the plugin text domain and updated Norwegian translations
  • Plugin URI now points to the plugin’s WordPress.org page

1.0.0

  • Added hover tooltips (title attributes) and inline descriptions to all settings fields for better discoverability.
  • Rebuilt the “From the developer” sidebar with structured sections: other plugins, other software, contact, and promotions.
  • Documentation link opens the full readme as an in-page overlay modal.
  • Tested with WordPress 7.0.
  • Fixed search privacy bug: searching a shared OneDrive folder no longer exposes filenames of private, unshared files from the same account.
  • Replaced Microsoft Graph API search with client-side BFS traversal and substring matching for correct partial-query results.

0.8.5

  • Added Third-Party Services section to readme documenting Microsoft Identity Platform and Microsoft Graph API usage, data sent, and privacy/terms links (WordPress.org Guideline 6 compliance).
  • Added admin notice when WordPress security keys change and the stored client secret can no longer be decrypted.
  • Added admin notice when the Microsoft OAuth token has expired or been revoked.
  • Refactored REST API: unified error response shape and extracted shared item-building logic.
  • Search queries are now capped at 255 characters before being forwarded to the Graph API.

0.8.3

  • Fixed plugin folder name to all-lowercase so Plugin Check no longer mismatches text domain against a mixed-case slug.

0.8.2

  • Fixed text domain: header and all i18n calls now use the correct all-lowercase slug.

0.8.1

  • Fixed unsanitized $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] in rate limiting (PHPCS compliance).
