Posted on by kazut

I have a model-driven app with a few Business Units to control access - let's say default/root BU, BU A and BU B. People who have access to BU A will need access to a Shared Channel in a Teams team. What is the most efficient way to manage the access the BU and channel? Security group?

Hello,

Yes, using security groups would be an efficient way to manage access to both the Business Units (BUs) in your model-driven app and the Shared Channel in Microsoft Teams. Here's a suggested approach:

Create Security Groups:
Create security groups in Azure Active Directory (AAD) for each Business Unit (BU) and the Shared Channel.
For example, you could have security groups named "BU A Users", "BU B Users", and "Shared Channel Access".
Assign Permissions to Security Groups:
Assign appropriate permissions to each security group in your model-driven app. This ensures that users assigned to these groups have access to the relevant Business Units.
Similarly, in Microsoft Teams, grant access to the Shared Channel to the corresponding security groups.
Manage Membership:
Add users to the appropriate security groups based on their role and access requirements.
When users are added or removed from these security groups, their access to the model-driven app and the Shared Channel will be automatically updated.
Ensure Synchronization:
Make sure that your security groups are synchronized with your model-driven app and Microsoft Teams. This ensures that access control remains consistent across both platforms.
Regular Review:
Periodically review and update the membership of your security groups to ensure that access permissions remain up-to-date and aligned with the organization's requirements.
By using security groups, you can efficiently manage access to both your model-driven app and the Shared Channel in Microsoft Teams, while also providing flexibility to adjust permissions as needed in the future.

@AllanDeCastro thanks for the response. I did some more search and it seemed it is not possible to assign a security group to a Teams shared channel. Am I missing anything?
