Entitle for Teams

Overview

Microsoft Teams is a proprietary business communication platform developed by Microsoft as part of the Microsoft 365 family of products. Teams offer workspace chat and video conferencing, file storage, and application integration.

Entitle can be added as an app on Microsoft Teams. This will require an admin to configure the integration between Entitle and Teams through the Entitle web app. Then, the admin needs to add the Entitle app to the list of available apps in your organization to allow end users to install it to Teams.

💡

Important

Teams require a one-to-one authorization between the Entitle email address of a user and their Teams instance. Otherwise, the integration will not be able to authorize correctly when a user tries to use the Entitle app in Teams.

Integrate Teams with Entitle

ℹ️

Note

Only Entitle admins can configure the integration with Teams.

1. Log in to Entitle and navigate to the Org settings page.

   

2. Locate the Teams app and click Connect.

3. Grant your consent in the Azure portal.

   ℹ️

   Required Permissions

   • User Read, Profile, Email - access the current user's basic data, such as name and email.
   • Access as a user - Entitle's app contains a secured iFrame to our website app. To securely log in to the user to Entitle's app, Entitle will need to access Microsoft API as the user to receive their approval.
   • Offline access - permits access to users' data when they’re not using Entitle's app.
   • To clarify, Entitle cannot access anything outside the application’s scope such as text sent outside of Entitle.

The Teams app is now integrated with Entitle.
