Hello dear community, We want to restrict users from adding or installing Office add-ins from the Office Store, but allow one specific application. How can it be done? User's image

After locking the store, I added an application to "integrated apps" in Microsoft 365 admin center, but nothing happened. I can't select any application (for example in MS WORD) because I get the error message that the store is not available. Im waited 24 hours and was problem still exist User's image

    Hi @Creol1

    I did not reproduce this issue at current time.

    As you say, I turn off add-in acquisition first, then I deploy an add-in.

    After the add-in is deployed, I open Office store, go to 'Admin Managed' and click 'Refresh', the new deployed add-in will show up.

    • You may sign out the organization account and close Office apps. Start Office apps and sign back your account for a test.

    Besides, this issue is also related to Microsoft 365 Admin, which is not supported on Q&A forum. To help you better, it's recommended to post a new thread on Microsoft Tech Community. Or you may contact Microsoft for support directly.
