CV Intranet Installation Guide

• CV Intranet is a SharePoint SPFx solution that transforms Microsoft 365 into a fully branded, employee-first digital workplace — bringing company news, departments, people, policies, events, and quick links together in a single modern landing experience. It is designed to replace fragmented communication channels and legacy intranet portals with a unified hub built natively on SharePoint Online.
• This guide walks through the installation tracks required for a complete deployment:
  1. SharePoint App Deployment — adding the CV Intranet web parts to your tenant and target site.
  2. Web Part Configuration — placing and configuring the CV Intranet experience on your intranet landing page.
  3. Marketplace Subscription — activating a paid plan so the solution runs without restrictions.

• Before starting the deployment, confirm the following are in place:
  1. SharePoint environment: Microsoft 365 tenant with SharePoint Online and App Catalog enabled.
  2. App Catalog site: A tenant-level or site-collection App Catalog must be created and accessible.
  3. Admin access: Global Administrator or SharePoint Administrator rights are required for tenant-level deployment and for approving API permissions.
  4. Target site: A modern communication site (recommended) designated as the intranet landing page for your organization.
  5. Content readiness: Basic assets such as company logo, banner images, department list, and initial announcements prepared for first-run configuration.
  6. Billing account: A valid payment method on the Microsoft account used to activate the marketplace subscription.

Follow these steps in order. Each step assumes the previous step completed successfully.

Step 1: Deploy the Solution (Admin)

• Open the tenant or site-collection App Catalog using one of the following URLs:
• https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/appcatalog/_layouts/15/tenantAppCatalog.aspx/manageApps
• or
• https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/yoursitecollection/AppCatalog/Forms/AllItems.aspx
• Click the settings (gear) icon in the top-right corner and choose Add an app.
• In the search bar, type “CV Intranet” and locate the app under the SharePoint Store section.
• Select CV Intranet and click Add to Apps site.
• In the deployment dialog, choose either “Only enable this app” (to add it to specific sites later) or “Enable this app and add it to all sites”, then click Add.
• A banner will appear requesting additional API permission approval. Proceed to Step 2 to grant these permissions.

Step 2: Grant API Access

• CV Intranet requires delegated Microsoft Graph permissions to render people directories, department hubs, news feeds, and personalized content.
• Open the SharePoint Admin Center: https://yourtenant-admin.sharepoint.com
• From the left menu, navigate to Advanced → API access.
• Under Pending requests, locate the following permission requests submitted by CV Intranet:
• User.Read.All – read user profiles to power the employee directory, birthdays, anniversaries, and people web parts.
  1. People.Read
  2. User.Read
• Select each permission and click Approve. Approval can take a few minutes to propagate across the tenant.

Step 3: Add the App to a SharePoint Site

Step 1: Create the Intranet Landing Page

• From the target site, go to Site Contents → New → Page.
• Select a blank page template and give it a clear title such as “Home”, “Company Intranet”, or “Employee Hub”.
• Add a appropriate section so the intranet dashboard renders with enough horizontal space for banners, announcements, employee directories, and quick links.
• Optionally set this page as the site’s home page (Site Settings → Make homepage) so users land directly on the CV Intranet experience.

Step 2: Add the Web Part

• Click the + icon inside the section to open the web-part picker.
• Search for “CV” or below listed webpart name and click the result. Wait a few seconds for the web part to initialize.
