UV People & Skills Search documentation

Overview

People and skills search vertical in Search Pro. Uses authorized Graph profile fields only.

For: Employees finding experts.

Features

  • People vertical

    Search people with the same trimming as Graph.

  • Skills when present

    Only fields the tenant already stores.

Requirements

  • SharePoint Online (Microsoft 365)
  • Tenant app catalog
  • SPFx 1.18+
  • Node 18 LTS / 22 LTS for custom builds
  • License key from Account → License keys

Installation

  1. After purchase or trial, download the signed uv-search-pro.sppkg package from Account → Files / UV Apps catalog.
  2. Upload the package to the tenant app catalog (SharePoint admin → More features → Apps).
  3. Enable the app for the whole tenant or selected site collections.
  4. If Entra asks for consent, approve only the permissions listed on the product page.
  5. Open a site and add the web part (or open the full-page app). The app checks for a purchased license or an active trial for this tenant.
  6. User.Read.All when the tenant allows people search.

How to use

  1. Open the page signed in with a work account from this Microsoft 365 tenant.
  2. The app asks the license server whether this tenant has a purchase or an active trial — no key is required.
  3. If nothing is found, paid features stay locked. Clock, Banner, Quick Links and Profile Card still run in Free mode.
  4. A product key from Account → License keys is only a fallback when silent activation fails.
  5. Switch Search Pro to the People vertical.

Configuration

  • People profile

Troubleshooting

  • No people: User.Read.All missing or people search disabled in the tenant.

Licensing

The app checks this tenant for a purchased license or an active trial and unlocks automatically. Sign in with a work mailbox on a verified domain of the Microsoft 365 tenant. See the licensing guide.

Microsoft Graph

  • User.Read.All (Delegated) — Read people the user is already allowed to find.
