AURUM servers: none
No call home, no tracking, no copy of your content. Nothing in the data path leaves Microsoft 365.
How it is built
Uses the signed-in user's permissions
It reads SharePoint content as the current user, so nobody sees more than they could see in SharePoint anyway.No custom script required
You do not need to allow custom script on your sites. The solution is installed from the tenant app catalog.No vendor servers in the data path
There is no AURUM cloud service behind the web part. Your content and configuration stay in Microsoft 365.Stored and versioned with the page
The configuration is saved in the SharePoint page itself, so it follows the page's version history and permissions.Licence check without a call home
The licence key is verified inside the web part. The licence code makes no network requests.
Exactly which permissions are requested
AURUM Navigation asks for as little as possible.
| Permission | Type | Why it is needed |
|---|---|---|
Microsoft Graph · User.Read | Delegated | Only needed for Microsoft Entra group targeting. Without it, targeting by users and SharePoint groups still works. |

What customers say
We had planned an agency project for our new intranet start page. In the end, our communications team built it themselves with AURUM Navigation. The deciding factor for us was that nothing leaves our tenant: no custom script, no external service. Our security review was done in one meeting, and the installation took under 30 minutes.
