title: BizTalk SharePoint Adapter and SharePoint Online permissions to update SharePoint lists
body: <p>I would like to know what permissions are required to be able to update a SharePoint list from BizTalk using SharePoint Adapter (CSOM). Site provider only want to grant permissions necessary, and hence I need to know the common denominator.</p>
  
  <p>I am not a SharePoint specialist, but it seems like you need to be in order to know what permissions to grant. E.g when adding to list, it seems like "lookup user information" is needed to retrieve user's username for the created by column. I.e you need to know what SharePoint does, to be able to get it right.</p>
  
  <p>List contains standard columns, plus a few standard columns like lookup (i provide an ID), date and number. Related list from where values are looked up is similar.</p>
  
  <p>Must I run BizTalk host instance with same account, or is providing credentials in adapter configuration sufficient?</p>
  
  <p>Do I need permissions on both site AND list, and what permissions are needed in both in such case?</p>
