Microsoft screen outlines the Multitudes app would like to read and write calendars in all mailboxes, read profile photo of a user, read all users' basic profiles and sign in and read user profile.
**Why does Multitudes need these permissions?**‍ * **Read and write calendars in all mailboxes:** We use this to build the [Focus Time](https://docs.multitudes.com/metrics-and-definitions/process-metrics/flow-of-work/focus-time) and [Meeting Load](https://docs.multitudes.com/metrics-and-definitions/people-metrics/wellbeing/meeting-load) charts * **Read profile photo of a user or group, Read all users' basic profiles, Sign in and read user profile:** We use these permissions to access the user information we need to link up users from Outlook with Multitudes Contributors. 6. You will be brought back into the application. Next, we’ll ask you to link Outlook users to Multitudes users. Where the email address in Outlook matches what we have in Multitudes, we will automatically link those users (example below). If the users don’t get picked up automatically (i.e. if the email address of the Multitudes Contributor is different from their Outlook email), you can manually link a Multitudes Contributor to an Outlook User account by choosing the appropriate Outlook account from the drop-down menu.
