User photos in O365
Hi Taen keren,
CodeTwo's rep over here.
Please review this installation guide: https://www.codetwo.com/userguide/user-photos-for-office-365/installation.htm to make sure that you accepted the permissions requested by the application and that the program was allowed to be registered in Azure Active Directory of your tenant.
Be also advised that only photos of users with an active Office 365 subscription plan (with Exchange Online) are synchronized.
Thanks,
Adam (CodeTwo)

We've been trying to allow our HR function the ability to update user profile photos of our employees, but it seems the tool requires you to be Global Admin? 😮
Can this really be true? If so, I do not understand why the tool creates an APP Reg in the tenant with User.ReadWrite.All permissions? Is the tool not supposed to use this App Reg identity to update the profile pics?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi,For security reasons, access to the application is limited to users who have the necessary permissions granted in Azure AD. They don’t need to have the global admin rights. Company-wide management of user photos can be delegated to other (non-admin) users or groups. See this article to learn which permissions are required: https://www.codetwo.com/userguide/user-photos-for-office-365/platforms-requirements.htm#permissions
Anyway, we know that you’re already in contact with our Customer Success Team, so they’ll help you set everything up.
Nick_North just wondering if you were able to get CodeTwo to work and what you had to do to get it to work. We've tried everything (multiple installs/uninstalls, granting tenant-wide consent during install and in the Azure portal) but can't get it to work for anyone who isn't a Global Admin. So I wanted to see if you got it working.
