Installation

To be able to use the Teams app or the Channel tab, certain requirements must be met.

Requirements

  • The Teams app only works with Office 365 / Entra ID (Alt: Azure Active Directory) logins, as generated files are stored in the user's name. For the fundamentals of signing in, see Single Sign-On (SSO).
  • The Entra ID App Registration needs the scopes Sites.ReadWrite.All, Files.ReadWrite.All as delegate permissions (see Entra ID Apps).
  • Only web-enabled templates are supported (templates released for the web touchpoints and server-side document generation).

Configure primedocs.config

The Teams app must be configured at primedocs.config

Any GUID can be used as the id.

<primedocs>
...
<teams id="[GUID]" namePrefix="" />
</primedocs>

The namePrefix can be used if there are several environments. The AddIns are then named in the form {namePrefix} primedocs.

After changing the primedocs.config, the web applications should be restarted.

Generate Manifest

The Team App manifest can then be generated via a link:

AppManifest URL
Teamshttps://your-url.example.com/app/api/manifest/teams

Teams Admin App Installation

The generated manifest can then be uploaded and distributed via Microsoft Teams Administration.
