I have a tenant with 10,000 users and we have an app that acts as a message extension and tab both, that we want to add for all users. I can see how to pin a bot to the sidebar, but how do I pin a message extension for all my users.

Edit: As per the Microsoft Schema Reference, I am not allowed to add Scope for ComposeExtenion and personal under configurableTabs scope.

using the Teams App Setup Policies there are two options to 'push' Teams Apps to groups of users:

  • Install Apps
  • Pin Apps

Pinning by design uses a Personal scope for a Tab or Bot, and only works if the App has a personal scope

Installing should work for any teams apps that can be installed ( respecting other settings and App Permission Policies)

Note: There is a know caveat for message extensions:
When a Tenant Admin pre-installs the app via a TAC App Setup Policy , or Graph :

  • the app only shows in the overflow tray
  • and does not get pre-pinned directly to the compose box.

There is work planned to address this in the 2nd half of CY21
