Enabling Microsoft Teams

A Teams Admin can install the Leadr app for all users in their organization by downloading the .zip file here.

App Rollout

Once rolled out, users can find it in the "Built for your org" section of the Teams store within their Teams client​1​ , or you can, optionally, have it installed automatically for all users in an organization.

Setting the Sideload Permission:

  • To enable all users in your organization to sideload custom apps, you'll need to configure the settings in the Teams admin center.
  • Sign in to the Teams admin center, go to Teams apps > Setup policies .

  • You can either create a new policy by selecting Add and providing a name and description or edit an existing policy to allow the sideloading of custom apps 4​.

You can use a setting in the app setup policy to allow or disallow users from uploading custom apps. This setting is useful when you want to allow only specific users in the organization to upload custom apps.

To allow all users to upload custom apps, use the custom app setting in Org-wide app settings.

  1. Sign in to the Teams admin center and access Teams apps > Setup policies.

    Perform one of the following steps:

    • Select Add and provide a name and description to create a new policy.
    • Select an existing policy and select Edit.
  2. Turn on or turn off the Upload custom apps option to allow or disallow users from uploading custom apps, respectively.
  3. Select Save.
  4. Apply the policy to users so that those users can upload custom apps.

To allow the use of custom apps in a user's personal or team scope, see org-wide app settings.
