Configuring MS Teams with ICI

To enable this capability, you (client) can make use of the existing ICI UI and API apps (App Registrations) or create 2 new apps for the same on Azure portal. Further we are going to provide certain API Permissions to these apps for interacting with Microsoft Teams to create new teams, channel, add team members to a team, add file and so on.

In case you are using a different identity provider like Okta, Ping Identity then all the internal ICI users are required to be part of the Azure Ad for this integration to work.

With the help of the following sections, you can create/edit the ICI UI and API apps (App Registrations), add URL redirects, provide API permissions etc.

Azure Portal Configuration for ICI UI Application

1. ICI UI Application (API Permissions)

1. Clients with different identity provider (for example, Okta or Ping Identity) must create a new ICI UI app registration and provide the required API permissions (listed under Section B.3) on their Azure portal.
2. Clients with Azure AD will have to provide the required API permission (listed under Section B.2) to the existing ICI UI app registration on Azure portal.
3. In both the above scenarios the following details with respect to the newly created or modified app are required to be shared with Icertis (to be able to enable ICI integration with Microsoft Teams).

• Directory ID (Tenant ID)
• Application ID (Client ID)
• Client Secret
• (ICI UI) Redirect URI

2. ICI UI application (app registration) on Azure portal requires the following Microsoft Graph delegated API permission with Admin consent.

3. Create a new or update existing ICI UI Application: Clients who are updating the existing ICI UI app can skip points ‘a’ to ‘d’ and directly open the existing ICI UI app on Azure portal and start with point ‘e’.

a. Go to ‘App Registrations’ under ‘Azure Active Directory’ on Azure portal and on the right panel, click ‘New registration’ tab.

             i. Provide the following information:
