Before you connect
Coverage, permissions, and requirements.
Microsoft Teams uses its own application installation and consent flow alongside your Microsoft 365 directory sync. Ensure your Teams app permission policy allows the Elba app for targeted users.
Explore security & privacyWhat if Teams returns an App Permission Policy error during setup?
In Microsoft Teams Admin Center, allow the Elba app in your global or targeted App Permission Policy and give Microsoft policy propagation time to apply.
How are files shared inside Microsoft Teams remediated?
Files shared in Teams channels and chats are backed by SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business. Connect Elba’s SharePoint and OneDrive Data Protection integrations to remove eligible file permissions.
What happens when an employee cannot be reached in Teams?
Elba automatically falls back to email for supported employee security notifications and reminders.
Coverage and requirements
- Custom Teams App Permission Policies blocking third-party apps must allow the Elba application before messages can be delivered.
- The Teams connector itself does not revoke user accounts; file-permission remediation on Teams-backed files uses the SharePoint or OneDrive Data Protection connections.
- Employees without an active matched Teams profile receive supported notifications by email.
