Signing in with Microsoft

Continue with Microsoft (work or school) on the sign-in page signs you in with the Microsoft account your organisation gave you. Scout Suite only asks Microsoft who you are and which email address is yours. It doesn't read your email, calendar or files.

Signing in this way doesn't give you access to any Group, District or County. People still join through an invitation or a role, as they do now.

The first time you use it, Scout Suite creates your account with that email address and no access to anything yet. If you already have a Scout Suite account with the same email, read the next step.

Your organisation may ask you to sign in with your Microsoft account before you can use it. When it does, Scout Suite shows a page called Link your account to continue, which says which account is needed and why.

Choose Add your Microsoft account, sign in with your work or school account, and then go back to the organisation. Until the grace period ends, you can keep using it as you did before.

On Profile → Security, under Connected accounts, choose Add another Microsoft account and sign in with it. Each Microsoft account is listed with its email, so you can tell them apart.

Scout Suite emails you whenever a Microsoft account is linked to your account.

On Profile → Security, select the X beside the account under Connected accounts, then confirm. You can only remove an account if you have another way to sign in, so set a password or add a passkey first if it's your only one.

Remove it from Profile → Security straight away, then change your password if you have one. Anyone who can sign in with an account can use everything that account can access, so act quickly.
