Pin apps to your users' app launcher

  • Article

You can use controls in the Microsoft Entra admin center to pin up to three apps to Microsoft365.com and the app launcher for all the users in your organization. You can also organize groups of applications. Any app you add can later be unpinned by the user at any time. To pin an app for your users, you must be a Cloud application administrator, or Application administrator in Microsoft Entra ID, or a Global administrator in Microsoft 365. For more information about admin roles, see Microsoft Entra built-in roles and admin roles in Microsoft 365.
