Configuring a profile field for Microsoft Teams
The Microsoft Teams add-on uses user groups to provide secure access to the add-on features.
Fastpath:
A user must have at least Manage System permissions to configure the profile fields.
To configure user groups for the Microsoft Teams add-on:
-
Create a new text field with the following parameters:
- Filed Type: Text field
- Field name: The name of the field to be used, for example,
msTeamsUsername - LanguageDisplay Name: The label for the field in English, for example,
MS Teams Username - Required: Cleared at least until the add-on setup is finished and tested.
You can set the Visibility and Attributes options however you wish.
Attention: We recommend leaving the Required attribute unchecked (and the field an option one) at least for an initial period while users are trained on the new solution.For this example, we are using MSTeamsUsername as the field name and MS Teams Username as the display name in English. The field is also set as optional.
Once the profile field is added, the values must be populated for the users in the community before the features in the integration will function properly. This can be done manually or through any form of automation, such as User Sync.
