    Create a Connection for Microsoft Teams

    To connect to Teams or channels to be copied or merged, an available connection is required for the authentication. We recommend you create a connection before using Aviator to avoid any interruption.

    Refer to the following steps to add Microsoft Teams connections:

    1. Click Settings in the left pane, and select Connections to access the Connections page.

    2. Click Create connection.

    3. In the Create connection panel, complete the following settings:

      • Connection name – Enter a name for the connection.

      • Connection type – Select Microsoft Teams from the drop-down list to create a connection for Microsoft Teams.

      • Tenant – Select a tenant where you want to copy or merge Teams or channels. You can enter the keyword of a tenant in the Search tenant text box and press Enter on the keyboard to search the tenant.

        If your desired tenant cannot be found from the drop-down list, you need to connect to the tenant in AvePoint Online Services Tenant management. Refer to for details. Then click the Refresh (Button: Refresh button.) button to reload the tenant.

      • Container for auto map – This section does not apply to Aviator for Microsoft Teams.

      • Credentials – Select the service account authentication or app profile of the tenant selected above to run the migration jobs.

        • Impersonation user – If you select a custom app profile, the impersonation user you configured in AvePoint Online Services will be automatically filled in. You can change the user to a desired user with the Exchange Online product license assigned in Microsoft 365. This user will be used to identify your Microsoft 365 tenant ID. If the user configured in Fly differs from the one in AvePoint Online Services, the migration will use the user configured in Fly.

        The service account authentication includes legacy authentication and modern authentication. Legacy authentication does not support service accounts with multi-factor authentication (MFA) enabled. If the account you want to use has MFA enabled, you can select Modern authentication from the Service account authentication drop-down list to use a delegated app profile for authentication.

        • For legacy authentication, select one or multiple service accounts from the drop-down list.

        • For modern authentication, you can select a delegated app profile from the drop-down list to use the delegated app profile to add the connection.

        • *Note: To reduce throttling during migration jobs, we recommend you select multiple delegated app profiles for a connection.

        You can enter the keyword of a (delegated) app profile in the Search (delegated) app profile text box and press Enter on the keyboard to search the (delegated) app profile. You can also create a new (delegated) app profile or service account in AvePoint Online Services. Remember to click the Refresh (Button: Refresh button.) button to reload the (delegated) app profile or service account after the creation.

    4. Click Save to save your configurations.

    On the Connections page, you can manage the existing connections.

    - Filter – Click **Filter** to filter connections by connection type and/or tenant. - Search – Enter the keyword of a connection name in the search box to search for the desired connection. - Edit – Click the connection name to edit a connection. - Delete – Select one or multiple connections and click **Delete** to delete them.
