In this article, we will explain how IT administrators in your company allow, deploy, and give consent for the Teamflect application so that your users can start making use of it.

  • By default, all third-party applications are allowed in Microsoft Teams, but sometimes IT administrators prefer to limit applications due to security and compliance concerns.

  • If your IT administrators have not blocked third-party apps, Teamflect should be available to all users in your company.

  • If they have blocked 3rd party applications, they can either allow all 3rd party applications or just allow Teamflect and keep on blocking the others.

🔓 Allowing Teamflect as an App in Microsoft Teams

Step 1

Find the “App Permission Policy” you want to edit. If you are looking to enable Teamflect for all users in your company, you can edit the “Global” policy.

Step 2

You should see the above warning if third-party applications are blocked in your organization. Click “Org-wide app settings” and turn the “Allow 3rd party applications” toggle on. After doing this, you will be able to allow Teamflect as a third-party application.

Step 3

Click “Allow specific apps and block all others” under the “Third-party apps” section.

Step 4

Add Teamflect to the list by clicking “Allow apps.”

Step 5

Search for Teamflect and click “Add” on the panel that you see on the right-hand side of the page.

Step 6

You should now see the Teamflect application listed under the “Third-party apps” section. Click save and finish.

Use Cases:

Use Case 1: Seamless access for end users

When deploying Teamflect organization-wide, IT or Teams administrators can use the instructions from the article to allow the Teamflect app in the Microsoft Teams app catalog. This ensures employees can add Teamflect tabs or apps without having to request access. It reduces friction and improves adoption since users see the app ready to install or pin.

Use Case 2: Governance & compliance control

Organizations that enforce strict app policies in Teams can use the article to ensure that Teamflect is approved and not blocked by app permission policies. Admins can whitelist Teamflect so it’s available only where appropriate (e.g. in HR or People Ops teams). This helps balance usability and security/compliance requirements.

Use Case 3: Facilitating integrated workflows in Teams

Once Teamflect is allowed in the Teams environment, users can add it as a tab or app inside channels, chats, or meetings. This lets teams bring goal tracking, feedback, tasks, and performance features directly into their daily Teams workspace. The article’s steps ensure the integration becomes part of the Teams experience rather than a separate tool.
