Walk the org chart from any card - manager and direct reports, loaded on demand.
Everything you would expect, done properly
A Fluent person card for everyone - chat, video, email and phone - with an Organisation tab that walks manager and direct reports on demand.
Available, busy or away shows live on every card and avatar, fetched in a single call per page and cached, so it is fast and never hammers Graph.
Debounced live search across name, job title and department, plus filters for department and office location and a quick A to Z jump bar.
An opt-in celebrations strip surfaces upcoming birthdays and work anniversaries, with avatars and dates. Entirely optional, entirely in your tenant.
Admins define custom fields; staff fill in their own skills, pronouns and about-me from a simple 'Your info' panel. No tickets, no admin grind.
Jump from any card to the person's manager and direct reports, loaded lazily with a single Graph $batch call so the estate stays snappy.
Just three read-only Graph scopes (User.Read.All, Presence.Read.All, and User-LifeCycleInfo.Read.All for work anniversaries). Runs as the signed-in user, guests excluded by default, and we store nothing but your licence.
Export and import the whole configuration as JSON, and the user-exclusion list as CSV, to clone a directory across pages and sites in seconds.
Up and running today
Drop the Staff Directory web part onto any modern SharePoint page. No provisioning, no PowerShell, no ticket to IT.
It queries Microsoft 365 through Graph as the signed-in user, so everyone sees exactly what they are allowed to. Nothing syncs out.
Staff search, see presence, start a Teams chat or call, walk the org chart and keep their own profile up to date.
Privacy is the whole point
Most "cloud" directories quietly copy your entire staff list onto someone else's servers. This one does not. It runs inside your Microsoft 365 tenant, reads people and presence through Microsoft Graph as the signed-in user, and hands nothing back to us. The only thing we hold is your licence.

Just two, both read-only: User.Read.All and Presence.Read.All. It deliberately avoids Chat, Calendars, Mail and Files scopes - Teams chat is a deep link, so no write access is ever requested.
Nowhere. The web part runs inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant and reads people and presence through Microsoft Graph as the signed-in user. That data stays in your tenant - we never receive, proxy or store it. All we hold is your licence (tenant ID and billing email).
One flat price per tenant with unlimited users, on a 14-day free trial. A payment method is required to start the trial, and if you cancel before it ends you are not charged. Billing and checkout run through the Glow Cloud Kit portal (our merchant of record is Lemon Squeezy). You can cancel anytime.
Yes. It is theme-aware and accessible by default, and inherits your SharePoint section and page styling so it looks like part of your intranet, not a bolt-on.
Yes. Microsoft Graph Toolkit retires on 28 August 2026. This is a ground-up rebuild on SPFx 1.23 with a custom Fluent UI person card and no MGT dependency at all, so nothing breaks when MGT goes.
The custom 'Your info' fields (skills, pronouns, about me and any fields your admins define) are self-service. Core details like name, job title and manager come from Microsoft 365 and follow your existing HR and Entra data.
Yes. Every contact card has an Organisation tab that shows the person's manager and direct reports, pulled live from Microsoft 365 with a single Graph $batch call, so you can walk the org chart from anyone in the SharePoint directory.
Delve is being retired and the built-in SharePoint People web part needs people added manually. Glow Cloud Directory is a full employee directory web part: it lists your whole organisation automatically from Microsoft 365, with search, filters, photos, presence, an org chart and celebrations, and it stays in your tenant.
Yes to both. Contact cards show Microsoft 365 profile photos, and staff can search by name, job title or department and filter by department and office location, plus an A to Z jump bar, so people find the right person fast.
