The Microsoft OneDrive Spoke connection and credential alias controls how policy authoring operations authenticate with Microsoft SharePoint and Google Drive. Understanding the alias structure helps you
configure and switch between system and personal authentication.
When the Microsoft OneDrive Spoke is installed, the platform ships a default Connection \& Credential alias record named OneDrive with the ID, sn_onedrive_spoke.OneDrive. All policy authoring flows that interact with SharePoint
or OneDrive reference this alias. The alias contains a connection record, an associated credential, and one or more child aliases that enable switching between different service accounts or authentication modes.

## Alias record fields {#connection-credential-alias-policy-authoring__alias-structure}

The following fields are relevant to policy authoring configuration on the sn_onedrive_spoke.OneDrive alias record.{#connection-credential-alias-policy-authoring__table_lkt_yyh_mjc__entry__3}

| Field | Value | Description |
|-|-|-|
| Name | OneDrive | Display name of the alias record. |
| ID | sn_onedrive_spoke.OneDrive | Unique system identifier for the alias. Referenced by all OneDrive and SharePoint flows for policy authoring. |
| Application | Microsoft OneDrive Spoke | The spoke application that owns this alias record. |

## Microsoft OneDrive Spoke Credential fields {#connection-credential-alias-policy-authoring__credential-fields}

The connection record linked to the alias references an OAuth 2.0 Credentials record named Microsoft OneDrive Spoke Credential. The following fields on this credential record are relevant to personal authentication configuration.{#connection-credential-alias-policy-authoring__table_rdp_tyh_mjc__entry__3}

| Field | Options | Description |
|-|-|-|
| Integration Type | System (default) \| Personal | Controls which credentials are used when policy authoring operations make API calls to Microsoft or Google. * System: All operations use the shared service account credentials. Documents created or modified from ServiceNow are registered under the service account identity in the cloud location. This is the default behavior. * Personal: Create, connect, and upload operations use the logged-in user's personal OAuth credentials. Documents are registered under the individual user's identity, enabling audit traceability. Document access permission grants and content sync (Update link) continue to use system account credentials regardless of this setting. {#connection-credential-alias-policy-authoring__ul_tbr_vyh_mjc} |
| OAuth Entity Profile | OneDrive OAuth | The OAuth profile that defines the authorization server, client ID, client secret, and token endpoints used to generate and refresh OAuth tokens. |
