How to gate n8n forms with Microsoft Auth

Hello good people,

I’m a QA Automation Engineer currently mid-migration. We have a "Frankenstein" bug reporting process: MS Forms -> Power Automate -> OneDrive (for attachments) -> Intermediary Jira -> Real QA Jira. It’s a nightmare to maintain and slow as hell.

I’ve rebuilt the whole logic in n8n (n8n forms -> Jira + Email), and it’s beautiful. But I’m stuck on the last mile: Security.

My R&D manager requires Microsoft Authentication before anyone can access the form. As of now, form is wide open for anyone.

The Constraints:

- No Dev or Infra help will be allocated

- Form Node only supports Basic Auth

I really don't want to go back to the "MS Forms trigger" because handling attachments through OneDrive/SharePoint in n8n adds back the plumbing I’m trying to delete.

How would you guys gate forms for internal employees only?
