Microsoft Teams

Sync overview​

This source can sync data for the Microsoft Graph API to work with Microsoft Teams.

There are currently 2 versions of Microsoft Graph REST APIs – v1.0 and beta. Beta version contains new or enhanced APIs that are still in preview status. But APIs in preview status are subject to change and may break existing scenarios without notice. It isn’t recommended taking a production dependency on APIs in the beta endpoint. This Source Connector is based on a API v1.0.

Output schema​

This Source can sync the following core Streams:

• users
• groups
• group_members
• group_owners
• channels
• channel_members
• channel_tabs
• conversations
• conversation_threads
• conversation_posts
• team_drives
• team_device_usage_report

Some APIs aren’t supported in v1.0, e.g. channel messages and channel messages reply.

Setup guide​

The Microsoft Graph API uses OAuth for authentication. Microsoft Graph exposes granular permissions that control the access that apps have to resources, like users, groups, and mail. When a user signs in to your app,

they, or, in some cases, an administrator, are given a chance to consent to these permissions. If the user consents, your app is given access to the resources and APIs that it has requested. For apps that don’t take a signed-in user, permissions can be pre-consented to by an administrator when the app is installed.

Microsoft Graph has two types of permissions:

• Delegated permissions are used by apps that have a signed-in user present. For these apps, either the user or an administrator consents to the permissions that the app requests, and the app can act as the signed-in user when making calls to Microsoft Graph. Some delegated permissions can be consented by non-administrative users, but some higher-privileged permissions require administrator consent.
• Application permissions are used by apps that run without a signed-in user present; for example, apps that run as background services or daemons. Application permissions can only be consented by an administrator.

This source requires Application permissions. Follow these instructions for creating an app in the Azure portal. This process will produce the client_id, client_secret, and tenant_id needed for the tap configuration file.

5. Register an application
   1. Name:
   2. Supported account types: Accounts in this organizational directory only
   3. Register (button)
6. Record the client_id, tenant_id, and which will be used by the tap for authentication and API integration.
7. Select Certificates & secrets
8. Provide Description and Expires
   1. Description: tap-microsoft-teams client secret
