Common Exchange Integration in PBXAdmin

Set up and manage the Common Exchange integration in PBXAdmin.

Before setting up the Common Exchange Integration

Our common Exchange integration uses app permissions to retrieve calendar appointments and contacts via a shared user account. It is compatible with Exchange 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, or Office 365.

The Common Exchange integration can be set up in two ways:

  1. Manual connection using username and password.

Note: Manual connection can only be used with on-premises solutions.

  1. Connection with Microsoft login. 

To set up the integration, you must have at least a Microsoft/Office 365 user account with login credentials, assigned the Application Administrator role.

NOTE: For Office 365 users that only exist in the cloud, in the Office portal, the checkbox defining that the user has to change the password at the first login must be unchecked.

Manual Connection

If you wish to set up the Common Exchange integration with Exchange Admin Center, you can follow this guide: Setting up Application Impersonation for Exchange.

Connection with Microsoft Login

When setting up the common Exchange integration using the Microsoft connection, an account with the following role is required:

  • Application Administrator

You can refer to this guide on how to assign this role.
