Namespace: microsoft.graph

Install a teamsApp to the specified chat.

Notes:

• If the chat is associated with an onlineMeeting instance, then, effectively, the teamsApp will get installed to the meeting.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteSelfForChat	TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteAndConsentForChat, TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteAndConsentSelfForChat, TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteForChat
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteSelfForChat.All	Chat.Manage.Chat, TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteAndConsentForChat.All, TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteAndConsentSelfForChat.All, TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteForChat.All

Note

These TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteSelfForChat, TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteForChat, TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteSelfForChat.All, and TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteForChat.All permissions cannot be used to install apps that require consent to resource-specific permissions.

HTTP request

POST /chats/{chat-id}/installedApps

Request headers

Header	Value
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

The request body should include the generated app ID of the catalog app. For more information, see teamsApp properties. The following table lists other parameters that can be used with the request body.

Parameter	Type	Description
consentedPermissionSet	teamsAppPermissionSet	Set of resource-specific permissions that are being consented to.

Note: The permissions consented to during the installation must match the resource-specific permissions defined in the teamsAppDefinition of the app. To get the application and delegated resource-specific permissions, see Example 7.If only delegated resource-specific permissions are specified in the teamsAppDefinition, permissions can be omitted in the request body.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code.
