Creating a Microsoft Teams application

In Microsoft Teams, create an application so that you can connect to Microsoft Teams from within Cognos® Analytics.

1. Create an Azure service named Azure Active Directory.
   For more information, see Manage Azure Active Directory (https://portal.azure.com/?quickstart=True#view/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/ActiveDirectoryMenuBlade/~/Overview).
2. Sign in to the Azure portal using an account with administrator permission.
   Note: You must use an account in the same Microsoft 365 subscription (tenant) as the one in which you are registering the MS Teams application. You can also access the Azure portal through the Microsoft 365 Admin center by expanding the Admin center item in the left navigation pane and selecting Azure Active Directory.
3. In the Azure portal, select Azure Active Directory in the left pane, select App registrations, and click New registration.
4. In the Register an application page, enter your application's registration information:
   1. In the Name section, enter a meaningful application name that will be displayed to the users.
   2. Select Accounts in any organizational directory in the Supported account types section.
   3. In the Redirect URI field, type the following:

      https://host_name:port_number/bi/v1/collaboration/auth/msteams

      or

      https://web_server_name:443/virtual_directory/bi/v1/collaboration/auth/msteams
   4. Click Register to create the application.
5. On the app Overview page, hover over the Application (client) ID value and click the Copy to clipboard icon to copy the value.
   Note: You will need to specify this value in your application's authentication code or app.config file, where appropriate.
6. Click the Manifest tab.
7. In the Manifest Editor, set the allowPublicClient* property to true, and then click Save.
8. Click the API permissions tab.
9. Click Add a permission, and then set permissions according to the following table:
   Note: The permissions in the table must be granted by the administrator.

   Permission name	Description	Admin consent request
