Microsoft Teams admin center: Permission and privilege levels for apps and agents [MC1164379]

Message ID: MC1164379
[Introduction:]

To help IT admins make faster, more informed decisions about app approvals, we’re enhancing the App details page in Microsoft Teams admin center. In addition to listing requested permissions, the page will now display a risk rating for each permission and an overall privilege level for the app or agent. This provides clearer insight into potential data access risks.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 502842.

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will begin mid-October 2025 and is expected to complete by the end of October 2025.

[How this affects your organization:]

Who is affected: Admins managing apps in Microsoft Teams admin center

What will happen:

• Risk rating will be shown for each requested permission.
• Overall privilege level will be displayed for each app or agent.
• This information will appear in:
  • Teams admin center > Teams apps > Manage apps > App details > Permissions tab
  • No changes to app enablement/blocking behavior or underlying data.

[What you can do to prepare:]

No action is required. This feature will be available automatically in the Teams admin center.

If you maintain internal documentation or helpdesk guidance related to app permissions, you may wish to update it to reflect this new visibility.

[Compliance considerations:]

No compliance considerations identified, review as appropriate for your organization.
