Mio is making cross platform communication between teams a reality. In doing so, protecting the integrity and security of your data is of paramount importance to us.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Mio need User.ReadWrite.All
?
To enable cross platform direct messaging, Mio syncs a user's primary account with their secondary account. For example, Dave uses Webex and even though he has an account on Microsoft Teams he doesn't use. Mio will sync Dave's Webex account to his Microsoft Teams account and whenever he posts a message on Slack, Mio will post an exact copy of that message in Microsoft Teams using his Microsoft Teams account.
If Dave ever updates his avatar or wants to update his display name to David, Mio will use the User.ReadWrite.All
scope to update his account in Microsoft Teams.
Why does Mio need to read all files that I have access to?
When a file is uploaded in Microsoft Teams it's stored in shared Sharepoint folders. The Mio app needs to access these specific Sharepoint files in order to successfully send the file to Slack and Webex.
At this time, this permission is the least privileged scope that Microsoft offers.
