# How to access protected information on a client with Microsoft authentication using OMNIcast

## OMNIcast enables users to link Microsoft 365 service-users to devices and clients like OMNIplayers, which allows players to authenticate with Microsoft 365 services to retrieve and play content secure.

To access protected information on a client, such as a OMNIplayer, you need to setup and link a channel from DatabeatOMNI to Microsoft Teams. We highly recommend that you get a better understanding of the prerequisites and how to prepare by reading the related article "[How to integrate with Microsoft Teams and SharePoint using Databeat OMNIcast](https://support.databeat.net/en/how-to-integrate-with-microsoft-teams-and-sharepoint-using-databeat-omnicast?hsLang=en)". 

This integration enables organizational devices and clients, such as OMNIplayers, to access shared and protected information from Microsoft Teams and SharePoint. 

### How to link a service-user to a OMNIplayer

**1.** Locate OMNIplayer in DatabeatOMNI.

Find your OMNIplayers from *Locations - OMNIplayer.* 

**2.** Edit **Player settings**. 

![Settings OMNIplayer](https://support.databeat.net/hubfs/image-png-Jan-11-2023-11-34-30-7619-AM.png)

**3.** Link player with Microsoft 365 user under **Advanced Settings**.

**4.** Search for the Microsoft 365 user.

Note that the search in resources is spesific and limited. 

![User token for OMNIplayer](https://support.databeat.net/hubfs/image-png-Jan-11-2023-11-48-55-7741-AM.png)

**5.** Select and link the user to DatabeatOMNI. Requires authentication with Microsoft 365. 

![Link Microsoft user to DatabeatOMNI](https://support.databeat.net/hubfs/image-png-Jan-11-2023-12-00-22-0931-PM.png)

A user can be linked to multiple OMNIplayers. OMNIplayers will only display appropriate teams based on the service-users' affiliation. 

**NB!** The service-user must be a licensed Microsoft 365 user to access secure media libraries, for example information from a Sharepoint site. 

Administrators can find an overview of assigned tokens from the User-tab in DatabeatOMNI.

#### Example

In DatabeatOMNI, we created a Databeat Teams Channel and linked to three Microsoft teams:

- OMNIcast - Marketing
- OMNIcast - Sales
- OMNIcast - Product

![Databeat OMNIcast Teams Channel](https://support.databeat.net/hubfs/image-png-Mar-10-2023-10-41-39-7576-AM.png)

We have also linked three unique service-users to different OMNIplayers to enable the players to use the delegated permissions to access and play content. 

![DatabeatOMNI OMNIplayer View](https://support.databeat.net/hubfs/image-png-Mar-10-2023-10-57-17-5030-AM.png)

The OMNIplayers listed have been linked with the following unique service-users:

- NOABCD0001A is linked with OMNIcast Product
- NOABCD0001B is linked with OMNIcast Marketing
- NOABCD0001C is linked with OMNIcast Sales

Even though all three OMNIplayers are assigned to the same channel, each player are restricted to access content based on the assigned service-users' delegated permissions.

In other words:

- NOABCD0001A will only be able to access media from the OMNIcast Product team.
- NOABCD0001B will only be able to access media from the OMNIcast Marketing team.
- NOABCD0001C will only be able to access media from the OMNIcast Sales team.
