Permissions
To set up the app successfully, you'll need to check a few permissions first. There are two permissions that you need to check:
- First, check to see if your board has item level permissions set up. If so, make sure that the person trying to set up the app has permission to view all items on the board.
- Next, check the board permissions. The person trying to set up the app needs to have permission to change the content and the structure of the board.
When both of these permissions are set up properly, you're ready to go! If not, be sure to make the necessary changes in order to proceed with set up and view your board in the Microsoft Teams App.
