Configure SharePoint integration using the list component

Applies To: Dynamics 365 (online), Dynamics 365 (on-premises), Dynamics CRM 2016, Dynamics CRM Online

If you can’t use server-based SharePoint integration, you must install the Microsoft Dynamics CRM List Component to get document management functionality. The Microsoft Dynamics CRM List Component is a SharePoint solution that you upload and activate on a SharePoint site collection. This feature uses a client-to-SharePoint Server strategy to authenticate and transmit data.

1. Make sure that you meet the requirements to use the Microsoft Dynamics 365 documentation management feature with SharePoint. For more information, see SharePoint Document Management software requirements for Microsoft Dynamics 365.

2. Make sure you have the System Administrator security role or equivalent permissions in Microsoft Dynamics 365.

   Check your security role

   • Follow the steps in View your user profile.

   • Don’t have the correct permissions? Contact your system administrator.

3. Install the Microsoft Dynamics CRM List Component on the SharePoint server.

   The Microsoft Dynamics CRM List Component is not required when you use server-based SharePoint integration. For more information, see Set up SharePoint integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 .

   Go to Settings > Document Management. On the command bar, click Install List Component and follow the instructions here.
