Setting up Tigerhall for Microsoft Teams

Last updated: September 23, 2026

This is done in the Microsoft Teams admin center by a Microsoft 365 administrator, not in Tigerhall.

Before you start

You need:

  • An active Microsoft 365 subscription

  • Access to a Microsoft 365 administrator account

  • Microsoft Teams activated for your organization

  • An active Tigerhall subscription

1. Sign in to the Teams admin center

Go to admin.teams.microsoft.com and sign in with your administrator credentials.

2. Check your app permission policies

  1. Select Teams apps, then Permission policies

  2. Open Global (Org-wide default)

  3. Under Third-party apps, either leave Allow all apps selected, or choose Allow specific apps and block others and add Tigerhall to the approved list

3. Allow the Tigerhall app

  1. Select Manage apps and search for Tigerhall

  2. Select the checkbox next to Tigerhall and choose Allow

  3. Confirm with Allow to let users access the application

Searching returns more than one result. Alongside the production app you will see development and staging entries. Choose the one published by Tigerhall Pte Ltd without a environment suffix in its name.

4. Grant permissions

  1. Open the application

  2. Go to Permissions, then Review permissions

  3. Review the requested permissions and choose Accept

This grants org-wide admin consent and lets you view the resource-specific consent permissions the app uses.

Permissions that must be granted

Admin permissions

  • User.ReadBasic.All

  • TeamsActivity.Send

Optional admin permissions for Copilot Integration

  • ExternalConnection.ReadWrite.OwnedBy

  • ExternalItem.ReadWrite.OwnedBy

Delegated permissions

  • User.Read

  • offline_access

  • openid

  • profile

  • email

  • Calendars.ReadWrite - Optional

The optional admin permissions support directory sync and the external content connection used for Microsoft Copilot. Without them, those features will not work.

5. Review the app settings

Check the Settings for the application and adjust if your organization requires it.

6. Preinstall the app for your users

You can install Tigerhall for some or all users rather than waiting for them to find it. Preinstalling helps people discover the app, improves retention, and saves them the effort of installing it themselves.

Alternatively, leave users to install it themselves, provided your policies allow users to add apps.

After setup

Once the app is allowed and permissions are granted, members can use Tigerhall inside Teams. See Using Tigerhall in Microsoft Teams.

If Copilot is expected to return Tigerhall content, confirm the optional admin permissions above were granted — Copilot integration is controlled here, not by individual users.
