Microsoft Teams – Setup

To install the Microsoft Teams Connector in Cyclr you must create an Azure Active Directory OAuth application and obtain your credentials from it.

Authentication method restrictions

OAuth 2.0 (application permissions)

When you use application permissions authentication, several of the endpoints are protected since they handle sensitive data.

You need to apply for permission to use them with this Microsoft request form.

Note: It can take up to a week for Microsoft to approve these permissions, during which you won’t be able to use the protected methods.

The following methods are protected and only function once you have been given permission by Microsoft:

• Messages > Get Channel Message
• Messages > List Channel Messages
• Messages > List Updated Channel Messages
• Webhooks > Get Team Chats
• Webhooks > Get Channel Chats

OAuth 2.0 (delegated permissions)

When you use delegated permissions authentication, you do not need to apply for permissions from Microsoft Teams. This is because delegated permissions authentication requires the user to consent to the permissions themselves during connector installation.

Delegated permissions authentication has restrictions to several methods:

Method category	Restriction
Chats > List New and Updated User Chats Chats > List New User Chats Chats > List User Chats	Chats can only be listed for the currently authenticated user.
Teams > List Joined Teams	Teams can only be listed for the currently authenticated user.
Webhooks > Get Completed Call Webhooks > Get Team Chats Webhooks > Get Users Chats	These methods will not function.

Create an application

You need an Azure Active Directory OAuth application to authenticate the Microsoft Teams connector. For more information, see Microsoft’s official documentation on how to register an application.

To create an application, from the Microsoft Azure portal:

1. Select the portal menu.
2. Select Azure Active Directory > App registrations > New registration.
3. Enter the following:

Redirect URI	Select a platform > Web > https://{Your Cyclr service domain}/connector/callback Your Cyclr Service Domain can be found in your Cyclr console under Settings > General Settings > Service Domain.

4. Select Register.

Get a client ID and tenant ID

From the application overview under the Essentials heading:

• Note the value next to Application (client) ID.
• Note the value next to Directory (tenant) ID.

Create a client secret

To create a client secret, from the application overview:

1. Select Certificates & secrets > Client secrets > New client secret.
2. Enter a Description and set the Expires duration.
3. Select Add.
4. Next to the newly created client secret, note the value under the Value heading

Enable permissions

Each endpoint requires you to enable permissions in Azure Active Directory before you can use them. For more information, see the Microsoft documentation on permissions.

To set permissions for your application, from the application overview:

1. Under the Manage heading, select API permissions.
2. Select Add a permission.
3. Under the Microsoft APIs tab, select Microsoft Graph.
4. Select Delegated permissions or Application permissions, depending on the authentication type you are using.

To set up permissions for all methods for application permissions, use the following permissions:

• CallRecords.Read.All
• ChannelMember.Read.All
• ChannelMessage.Read.All
• ChannelSettings.Read.All
• Chat.Read.All
• Directory.Read.All
• GroupMember.Read.All
• Presence.ReadWrite.All

• ChannelMessage.Read.All
• ChannelMessage.Send
• ChannelSettings.Read.All
