#What’s new in App Management?

• If your tenant is using the Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365 service to protect Microsoft Planner data, you can now go to App Management to configure an app profile for a Microsoft delegated app with the assigned permissions. After the delegated app profile has been created, go to Auto Discovery, and add the delegated app profile to a scan profile which uses the app profile authentication method and includes Microsoft Teams in the scan scope.

• If your organization uses the Fly service, before performing Microsoft Teams Chat migrations, go to App Management to configure an app profile for a Microsoft delegated app with the Fly permission assigned. The delegated app profile will be used to restore user chat messages in Microsoft Teams Chat migrations.

• If your organization uses Policies for Microsoft 365 or Insights for Microsoft 365, you can now go to App Management to configure a service app which only requests permissions for using the service. To use an app profile for a service app, you need to apply the app profile to the related scan profile in Auto Discovery.

  • AvePoint Online Services Administration for Azure
