Getting Started with TeamBook Employee Directory

TeamBook Employee Directory is a SharePoint Framework (SPFx) web part that transforms your SharePoint intranet into a fully functional people hub. It provides a single, branded destination where employees can find colleagues, explore the organisation chart, browse departments, and discover office locations — all powered live from Microsoft Entra ID via Microsoft Graph.

No external cloud required. All data is read directly from your Microsoft 365 tenant via Graph API. Nothing is stored, cached, or sent outside your environment.
