## FAQ

### Do I need administrative rights to use this?

Yes, accessing Microsoft 365 tenant data requires administrative consent on the tenant.

### Does the plugin require a local Node.js runtime?

The hosted workiq plugin connects to a hosted MCP endpoint and does not need a local Node.js runtime, though the separate CLI does require Node.js 18+.
