Multi-Tenant Authentication for Office Add-ins

We build multi-tenant authentication for Office add-ins distributed to multiple enterprise customers. One codebase, per-tenant token isolation, and no manual configuration needed for each new customer tenant.

Multi-Tenant Authentication for Office Add-ins Overview

If you are building an Office add-in as a product, something you sell or distribute to multiple enterprise customers, multi-tenant authentication is not optional. Each customer has their own Azure AD tenant. Their users authenticate against their tenant, not yours. Without a multi-tenant setup, every new customer requires manual configuration in your app registration, which does not scale.

A multi-tenant Office add-in uses a single app registration configured for multi-tenant support. When a user from a new customer tenant installs the add-in, they or their IT administrator grants consent for your add-in to access their tenant. From that point, users in that tenant authenticate against their own Entra ID and receive tokens that are scoped to their tenant's data. Your add-in receives the token, validates it, identifies the tenant, and routes requests accordingly.

The implementation details that matter: tenant discovery at token validation time, handling the admin consent redirect for new tenants, per-tenant token caching so one customer's tokens cannot be used for another's data, and the onboarding flow that new customers go through when they first deploy the add-in. We have built this architecture for ISVs distributing to anywhere from 10 to hundreds of enterprise tenants.

Types of Multi-Tenant Authentication for Office Add-ins We Build

Multi-Tenant App Registration

We configure the Azure app registration for multi-tenant support so users from any Microsoft 365 tenant can authenticate against your add-in without per-tenant registration changes.

Per-Tenant Token Isolation

We build token management that isolates each customer tenant's tokens and data, so one tenant's credentials cannot access another tenant's Microsoft 365 data through your add-in.

Admin Consent Onboarding

We build the admin consent redirect flow so new enterprise customers can approve your add-in's permissions in their tenant during initial deployment, without involving your engineering team.

Tenant Discovery

We implement tenant discovery at token validation time so the add-in identifies which customer tenant a token belongs to and routes data requests to the correct tenant-scoped resources.

AppSource-Ready Architecture

We build the multi-tenant auth layer to AppSource standards so the add-in passes Microsoft's validation process for marketplace publication without auth-related rejection.

Conditional Access Compatibility

We test the add-in against enterprise tenants with Conditional Access policies, such as MFA requirements, device compliance checks, and IP restrictions, and implement compatible auth flows.

Frequently asked questions

What is a multi-tenant Office add-in?
A multi-tenant Office add-in works across multiple enterprise Microsoft 365 tenants from a single codebase and app registration. Users from any customer's tenant can install and authenticate with the add-in using their own Microsoft 365 credentials.
Does each new enterprise customer need a separate app registration?
No. A multi-tenant registration allows any Microsoft 365 tenant to use your add-in. Each new customer's administrator grants consent for your add-in during deployment, and no changes are needed to your app registration for each new customer.
How do you keep one customer's data separate from another's?
We validate the tenant ID in every token and implement per-tenant data routing so requests from one customer's users only access that customer's Microsoft 365 data. Token caching is also per-tenant to prevent cross-tenant token use.
Is multi-tenant auth required for AppSource publication?
Yes for most AppSource add-ins. Microsoft requires that add-ins listed on AppSource work across all Microsoft 365 tenants, which means the auth layer must support multi-tenant authentication. We build to AppSource auth requirements from the start.
Can you build this for an add-in we already have?
Yes. We retrofit multi-tenant auth onto existing add-ins. The main work is converting a single-tenant app registration to multi-tenant, adding the consent onboarding flow, and implementing per-tenant token isolation on the server side.
