Get started with the integrated apps portal

What is the integrated apps portal?

The integrated apps portal in the Microsoft 365 admin center gives you the flexibility to deploy and manage apps, agents, and add-ins from a single portal, including both AppSource apps and custom line-of-business (LOB) apps from a single location. These apps can be built by Microsoft or by other companies. The ability to find, test, and fully deploy purchased and licensed apps from the integrated apps portal provides the convenience and benefits your organization requires to keep business services updated regularly and running efficiently.

The integrated apps portal displays a list of apps that can be accessed by users in your organization. The following apps can be managed via the integrated apps portal:

• Office Add-ins, including those that are registered as a web application in Microsoft Entra.
• Teams apps that work on Outlook and the Microsoft 365 app (formerly known as Office.com).
• Teams Apps that only work on Teams.
• SPFx apps
• SaaS apps that are available in AppSource and can be deployed by admins giving consent on behalf of the organization.

How to access the integrated apps portal

The portal can be accessed via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. Select Settings, and then choose Integrated apps.

Who can access the integrated apps portal

The integrated apps portal is available to world-wide customers only and can be accessed by the following roles:

• Global administrator
• Global reader
• AI administrator
• Exchange administrator
• Azure Application Admins

To learn more about these roles, see Microsoft Entra built-in roles - Microsoft Entra|Microsoft Learn.

User and group assignments

Apps, agents, and add-ins in the portal can be made be deployed for specific groups, including most groups supported by Microsoft Entra ID. These are Microsoft 365 groups, distribution lists, and security groups. Assignments must be made to top-level groups (that is, groups without parent groups) only. Apps cannot be deployed for specific nested groups (that is, groups that have parent groups). To know more, read the documentation on Assign users and groups to application.

In the following example, an app, agent, or add-in is deployed for Sandra, Sheila, and the Sales Department group. Because the West Coast Sales Department is a nested group, the app is not deployed for Bert and Fred.

Find out if a group contains nested groups

The easiest way to detect if a group contains nested groups is to view the group contact card within Outlook. If you enter the group name within the To field of an email and then select the group name when it resolves, it will show you if it contains users or nested groups. In the example below, the Members tab of the Outlook contact card for the Test Group shows no users and only two sub groups.

You can do the opposite query by resolving the group to see if it's a member of any group. In the example below, you can see under the Membership tab of the Outlook contact card that Sub Group 1 is a member of the Test Group.

Note that you can use the Microsoft Graph API to run queries to find the list of groups within a group. For more information, see Operations on groups.

Find support information for apps, agents, and add-ins

In the integrated apps portal, when evaluating an app, you can review the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy of the application before you make it available to your users.

You can access this information in the following ways:

• For publicly available store apps, links to Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Support are available on AppSource. Search for an application and navigate to its Details + Support tab for the links.

  

• For a custom app, contact the app developer who initiated the request to upload the custom app. For Copilot agents submitted via Microsoft Copilot Studio, Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit, or any other source, requester's contact details are available in the app details pane in Requested Apps tab.

• You can view the same information of an app in the Teams admin center as well. For details, see how to find support information for an app.
