Permission

On the following page you see an overview of the required permissions.

Easy Directory requires two separate app registrations within your tenant to ensure functionality and security:

  1. Easy Directory 2.0: This primary app handles the core functionalities, enabling the display of your contacts directly within Microsoft Teams.

  2. Easy Platform Configuration Portal: To enhance security, a second app registration with elevated permissions is used for configuration tasks. This app allows:

    • Access to contacts stored in shared mailboxes.

    • The provision of a dedicated portal for managing contacts and views.

Access to the Easy Platform Configuration Portal is restricted to users assigned the Teams Administrator role, ensuring that only authorized personnel can manage the platform’s configuration and permissions.

This two-app approach guarantees both robust functionality and a secure management environment for Easy Directory.
