17.0 Registering a Microsoft App for Teams

Reference the content in this section to learn how to register a Microsoft app for Teams in the Microsoft Entra admin center. This process involves four main steps: (1) registering a new app, (2) adding an owner, (3) creating a client secret, and (4) adding permissions for Teams meetings. Once that process is complete, you can access the app’s client ID and client secret to configure Microsoft Teams Integration in the GroupWise Administration Console.

To register an app for Teams in the Microsoft Entra admin center:

  1. Log in to Microsoft Entra admin center at https://entra.microsoft.com/.

  2. Expand Applications in the navigation pane, and click App registrations.

  3. Click the New registration tab, and type a name for the app.

  4. Choose the tenant account type, and configure the Redirect URI section as follows:

    • Connection type: Public client/native (mobile & desktop)

    • URI: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient

  5. Click Register.

    When the new application opens, a sub-navigation pane for the app is displayed to the right of the main navigation pane.

  6. In the app navigation pane, click Owners > Add Owners; then, use the Search field to locate and select yourself and any other administrators with an account who will administer the app.

  7. In the app navigation pane, click Certificates & secrets > New client secret and do the following:

    1. Add a description for the secret.

    2. Choose when it expires.

    3. Click Add.

    4. With the Certificates & secrets tab still in view, copy and save the Value for the new secret. You will need this to configure Microsoft Teams in the Administration Console.

      IMPORTANT:Once you leave the Certificates & secrets tab, you will no longer be able to copy the secret value.

  8. Click API permissions, and then click the Microsoft Graph link.

  9. Locate and set the following “Delegated” permissions (select and click Add permissions):

    Permission Group

    Specific Permission

    Description

    OpenId Permissions

    email

    View users’ email address

    OnlineMeetings

    OnlineMeetings.ReadWrite

    Read and create user’s online meetings

    User

    User.Read

    Sign in and read user profile

  10. Do the following to record the application (client) ID for configuring Microsoft Teams Integration in the GroupWise Administration Console:

    1. Click Overview in the app navigation pane and copy and save the Application (client) ID.

    2. You will also need the following:

      • Entra tenant domain that the app is registered for

      • Client secret value that you previously recorded (see Step 7.d)

If you have completed all of the steps above, you should now be ready to configure Microsoft Teams Integration in GroupWise administration.
