Applying user groups to the Microsoft Teams add-on

The Microsoft Teams Add-on requires the Jive instance configuration followed by the add-on installation and configuration. The add-on also uses user groups for determining access to its features. By configuring these user groups, you can limit access to specific functionalities, ensuring that only authorized users can utilize the add-on.

    User groups with access to the add-on features are listed here. By default, the All registered users user group is used.

  4. If necessary, replace the All registered users user group to allow access only to the users of the dedicated groups:

    • Under Teams Auth, specify the user group whose members should be able to use the Teams Status tiles.
    • Under Teams User Mapping, specify the user group whose members should be able to map a Jive field for Microsoft Teams.

  6. Add the concerned administrators as members to these user groups.

  7. Click Save and Activate to apply the changes.
