Quickstart: Set up and manage access tokens for Teams users

Article
10/12/2023

In this quickstart, you'll build a .NET console application to authenticate a Microsoft 365 user by using the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) and retrieving a Microsoft Entra user token. You'll then exchange that token for an access token of Teams user with the Azure Communication Services Identity SDK. The access token for Teams user can then be used by the Communication Services Calling SDK to integrate calling capability as Teams user.

Note

When you're in a production environment, we recommend that you implement this exchange mechanism in back-end services, because requests for an exchange are signed with a secret.

Prerequisites

An Azure account with an active subscription. Create an account for free.
An active Azure Communication Services resource and connection string. For more information, see Create an Azure Communication Services resource.
A Microsoft Entra instance with users that have a Teams license. For more information, see Teams License requirements.

Introduction

Teams identities are bound to tenants in Microsoft Entra ID. Your application can be used by users from the same or another tenant. In this quickstart, you'll work through a multitenant use case with multiple actors: users, developers, and administrators from fictional companies Contoso and Fabrikam. In this use case, Contoso is a company that's building software as a service (SaaS) for Fabrikam.

The following sections will guide you through the steps for administrators, developers, and users. The diagrams demonstrate the multitenant use case. If you're working with a single tenant, execute all steps from Contoso and Fabrikam in a single tenant.

Administrator actions

The Administrator role has extended permissions in Microsoft Entra ID. Members of this role can set up resources and can read information from the Azure portal. In the following diagram, you can see all actions that have to be executed by Administrators.

Administrator actions to enable Azure Communication Services support for Teams identities.

The Contoso Administrator creates or selects an existing application in Microsoft Entra ID. The property Supported account types defines whether users from various tenants can authenticate to the application. The property Redirect URI redirects a successful authentication request to the Contoso server.
The Contoso Administrator adds API permissions to Teams.ManageCalls and Teams.ManageChats from Communication Services.
The Contoso Administrator allows public client flow for the application.
The Contoso Administrator creates or selects existing communication services, which will be used for authentication of the exchanging requests. Microsoft Entra user tokens will be exchanged for an access token of Teams user. For more information, see Create and manage Communication Services resources.
The Fabrikam Administrator grants Communication Services Teams.ManageCalls and Teams.ManageChats permissions to the Contoso application. This step is required if only Fabrikam Administrator can grant access to the application with the Teams.ManageCalls and Teams.ManageChats permissions.

Step 1: Create a Microsoft Entra application registration or select a Microsoft Entra application

Users must be authenticated against Microsoft Entra applications with the Azure Communication Service Teams.ManageCalls and Teams.ManageChats permissions. If you don't have an existing application that you want to use for this quickstart, you can create a new application registration.

The following application settings influence the experience:

The Supported account types property defines whether the application is single tenant ("Accounts in this organizational directory only") or multitenant ("Accounts in any organizational directory"). For this scenario, you can use multitenant.
Redirect URI defines the URI where the authentication request is redirected after authentication. For this scenario, you can use Public client/native (mobile & desktop) and enter http://localhost as the URI.

For more detailed information, see Register an application with the Microsoft identity platform.

When the application is registered, you'll see an identifier in the overview. This identifier, Application (client) ID, is used in the next steps.

Step 2: Allow public client flows

On the Authentication pane of your application, you can see a configured platform for Public client/native(mobile & desktop) with a redirect URI pointing to http://localhost. At the bottom of the pane, you'll see an Allow public client flows toggle control, which for this quickstart should be set to Yes.

Step 3: Add the Communication Services permissions in the application

The application must declare Teams.ManageCalls and Teams.ManageChats permissions to have access to Teams calling capabilities in the Tenant. Teams user would be requesting a Microsoft Entra user token with this permission for token exchange.

Navigate to your Microsoft Entra app in the Azure portal and select API permissions
Select Add Permissions
In the Add Permissions menu, select Azure Communication Services
Select the permissions Teams.ManageCalls and Teams.ManageChats, then select Add permissions

Add Teams.ManageCalls and Teams.ManageChats permission to the Microsoft Entra application created in previous step.

Step 4: Create or select a Communication Services resource

Your Communication Services resource is used to authenticate all requests for exchanging Microsoft Entra user token for an access token of Teams user. You can trigger this exchange by using the Communication Services Identity SDK, which you can authenticate with an access key, or by using Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC). You can get the access key either in the Azure portal or by configuring Azure RBAC on the Access control (IAM) pane by Communication Services resource.

If you want to create a new Communication Services resource, see Create and manage Communication Services resources.

Microsoft Entra tenant can be configured, to require Microsoft Entra administrator consent for the Teams.ManageCalls and Teams.ManageChats permissions of the application. In such a case, the Microsoft Entra Administrator must grant permissions to the Contoso application for Communication Services Teams.ManageCalls and Teams.ManageChats. The Fabrikam Microsoft Entra Administrator provides consent via a unique URL.

The following roles can provide consent on behalf of a company:

Global admin
Application admin
Cloud application admin

If you want to check roles in Azure portal, see List Azure role assignments.

To construct an Administrator consent URL, the Fabrikam Microsoft Entra Administrator does the following steps:

In the URL https://login.microsoftonline.com/{Tenant_ID}/adminconsent?client_id={Application_ID}, the Administrator replaces {Tenant_ID} with the Fabrikam Tenant ID, and replaces {Application_ID} with the Contoso Application ID.
The Administrator logs in and grants permissions on behalf of the organization.

The service principal of the Contoso application in the Fabrikam tenant is created if consent is granted. The Fabrikam Administrator can review the consent in Microsoft Entra ID by doing the following steps:

Sign in to the Azure portal as an administrator.
Go to Microsoft Entra ID.
On the Enterprise applications pane, set the Application type filter to All applications.
In the field for filtering the applications, enter the name of the Contoso application.
Select Apply.
Select the service principal by using the required name.
Go to the Permissions pane.

You can see that the status of the Communication Services Teams.ManageCalls and Teams.ManageChats permissions are Granted for {Directory_name}.

If you run into the issue "The app is trying to access a service '1fd5118e-2576-4263-8130-9503064c837a'(Azure Communication Services) that your organization '{GUID}' lacks a service principal for. Contact your IT Admin to review the configuration of your service subscriptions or consent to the application to create the required service principal." your Microsoft Entra tenant lacks a service principal for the Azure Communication Services application. To fix this issue, use PowerShell as a Microsoft Entra administrator to connect to your tenant. Replace Tenant_ID with an ID of your Microsoft Entra tenancy.

You will require Application.ReadWrite.All as shown below.

Connect-MgGraph -TenantId "Tenant_ID" -Scopes Application.ReadWrite.All

If the command is not found, start PowerShell as an administrator and install the Microsoft Graph package.

Install-Module Microsoft.Graph

Then execute the following command to add a service principal to your tenant. Do not modify the GUID of the App ID.

New-MgServicePrincipal -AppId "1fd5118e-2576-4263-8130-9503064c837a"

Developer actions

The Contoso developer needs to set up the client application to authenticate users. The developer then needs to create an endpoint on the back-end server to process the Microsoft Entra user token after redirection. When the Microsoft Entra user token is received, it's exchanged for the access token of Teams user and returned to the client application.

The developer's required actions are shown in following diagram:

Diagram of developer actions to enable Azure Communication Services support for Teams identities.

The Contoso developer configures the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) to authenticate the user for the application that was created earlier by the Administrator for Communication Services Teams.ManageCalls and Teams.ManageChats permissions.
The Contoso developer initializes the Communication Services Identity SDK and exchanges the incoming Microsoft Entra user token for the access token of Teams user via the identity SDK. The access token of Teams user is then returned to the client application.

By using the MSAL, developers can acquire Microsoft Entra user tokens from the Microsoft identity platform endpoint to authenticate users and access secure web APIs. It can be used to provide secure access to Communication Services. The MSAL supports many different application architectures and platforms, including .NET, JavaScript, Java, Python, Android, and iOS.

For more information about setting up environments in public documentation, see Microsoft Authentication Library overview.

Note

The following sections describe how to exchange the Microsoft Entra access token for the access token of Teams user for the console application.

dotnet add package Microsoft.Identity.Client

Set up the app framework

From the project directory:

Open Program.cs file in a text editor
Add a using directive to include the Azure.Communication.Identity namespace
Update the Main method declaration to support async code

Use the following code to begin:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Azure.Communication.Identity;
using Microsoft.Identity.Client;

namespace CommunicationAccessTokensQuickstart
{
    class Program
    {
        static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Azure Communication Services - Teams Access Tokens Quickstart");

            // Quickstart code goes here
        }
    }
}

Step 1: Receive the Microsoft Entra user token and object ID via the MSAL library

The first step in the token exchange flow is getting a token for your Teams user by using Microsoft.Identity.Client. The code below retrieves Microsoft Entra client ID and tenant ID from environment variables named AAD_CLIENT_ID and AAD_TENANT_ID. It's essential to configure the MSAL client with the correct authority, based on the AAD_TENANT_ID environment variable, to be able to retrieve the Object ID (oid) claim corresponding with a user in Fabrikam's tenant and initialize the userObjectId variable.

// This code demonstrates how to fetch an AAD client ID and tenant ID 
// from an environment variable.
string appId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AAD_CLIENT_ID");
string tenantId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AAD_TENANT_ID");
string authority = $"https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenantId}";
string redirectUri = "http://localhost";

// Create an instance of PublicClientApplication
var aadClient = PublicClientApplicationBuilder
                .Create(appId)
                .WithAuthority(authority)
                .WithRedirectUri(redirectUri)
                .Build();

List<string> scopes = new() {
    "https://auth.msft.communication.azure.com/Teams.ManageCalls",
    "https://auth.msft.communication.azure.com/Teams.ManageChats"
};

// Retrieve the AAD token and object ID of a Teams user
var result = await aadClient
                        .AcquireTokenInteractive(scopes)
                        .ExecuteAsync();
string teamsUserAadToken =  result.AccessToken;
string userObjectId =  result.UniqueId;

Step 2: Initialize the CommunicationIdentityClient

Initialize a CommunicationIdentityClient with your connection string. The code below retrieves the connection string for the resource from an environment variable named COMMUNICATION_SERVICES_CONNECTION_STRING. Learn how to manage your resource's connection string.

Add the following code to the Main method:

// This code demonstrates how to fetch your connection string
// from an environment variable.
string connectionString = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("COMMUNICATION_SERVICES_CONNECTION_STRING");
var client = new CommunicationIdentityClient(connectionString);

Step 3: Exchange the Microsoft Entra access token of the Teams User for a Communication Identity access token

Use the GetTokenForTeamsUser method to issue an access token for the Teams user that can be used with the Azure Communication Services SDKs.

var options = new GetTokenForTeamsUserOptions(teamsUserAadToken, appId, userObjectId);
var accessToken = await client.GetTokenForTeamsUserAsync(options);
Console.WriteLine($"Token: {accessToken.Value.Token}");

Run the code

Run the application from your application directory with the dotnet run command.

const SERVER_PORT = process.env.PORT || 80;
const REDIRECT_URI = `http://localhost:${SERVER_PORT}/redirect`;
const clientId = process.env['AAD_CLIENT_ID'];
const tenantId = process.env['AAD_TENANT_ID'];

// Quickstart code goes here

app.listen(SERVER_PORT, () => console.log(`Communication access token application started on ${SERVER_PORT}!`))

Save the new file as issue-communication-access-token.js in the access-tokens-quickstart directory.

Step 1: Receive the Microsoft Entra user token and object ID via the MSAL library

// Create configuration object that will be passed to MSAL instance on creation.
const msalConfig = {
    auth: {
        clientId: clientId,
        authority: `https://login.microsoftonline.com/${tenantId}`,
    }
};

// Create an instance of PublicClientApplication
const pca = new PublicClientApplication(msalConfig);
const provider = new CryptoProvider();

const app = express();

let pkceVerifier = "";
const scopes = [
            "https://auth.msft.communication.azure.com/Teams.ManageCalls",
            "https://auth.msft.communication.azure.com/Teams.ManageChats"
        ];

app.get('/', async (req, res) => {
    // Generate PKCE Codes before starting the authorization flow
    const {verifier, challenge} = await provider.generatePkceCodes();
    pkceVerifier = verifier;
    
    const authCodeUrlParameters = {
        scopes: scopes,
        redirectUri: REDIRECT_URI,
        codeChallenge: challenge, 
        codeChallengeMethod: "S256"
    };
    // Get url to sign user in and consent to scopes needed for application
    pca.getAuthCodeUrl(authCodeUrlParameters).then((response) => {
        res.redirect(response);
    }).catch((error) => console.log(JSON.stringify(error)));
});

app.get('/redirect', async (req, res) => {
    // Create request parameters object for acquiring the AAD token and object ID of a Teams user
    const tokenRequest = {
        code: req.query.code,
        scopes: scopes,
        redirectUri: REDIRECT_URI,
        codeVerifier: pkceVerifier,
    };
    // Retrieve the AAD token and object ID of a Teams user
    pca.acquireTokenByCode(tokenRequest).then(async(response) => {
        console.log("Response:", response);
        let teamsUserAadToken = response.accessToken;
        let userObjectId = response.uniqueId;
        //TODO: the following code snippets go here
        res.sendStatus(200);
    }).catch((error) => {
        console.log(error);
        res.status(500).send(error);
    });
});

Step 2: Initialize the CommunicationIdentityClient

Instantiate a CommunicationIdentityClient with your connection string. The code below retrieves the connection string for the resource from an environment variable named COMMUNICATION_SERVICES_CONNECTION_STRING. Learn how to manage your resource's connection string.

Add the following code to the then method:

// This code demonstrates how to fetch your connection string
// from an environment variable.
const connectionString = process.env['COMMUNICATION_SERVICES_CONNECTION_STRING'];

// Instantiate the identity client
const identityClient = new CommunicationIdentityClient(connectionString);

Step 3: Exchange the Microsoft Entra access token of the Teams User for a Communication Identity access token

Use the getTokenForTeamsUser method to issue an access token for the Teams user that can be used with the Azure Communication Services SDKs.

//Exchange the Azure AD access token of the Teams User for a Communication Identity access token
let accessToken = await identityClient.getTokenForTeamsUser({
    teamsUserAadToken: teamsUserAadToken,

   print(f"Exception: {ex}")

Install the package

While still in the application directory, install the Azure Communication Services Identity SDK for Python package by using the pip install command.

pip install azure-communication-identity
pip install msal

Step 1: Receive the Microsoft Entra user token and object ID via the MSAL library

The first step in the token exchange flow is getting a token for your Teams user by using Microsoft.Identity.Client. In Azure portal, configure the Redirect URI of your "Mobile and Desktop application" as http://localhost. The code below retrieves Microsoft Entra client ID and tenant ID from environment variables named AAD_CLIENT_ID and AAD_TENANT_ID. It's essential to configure the MSAL client with the correct authority, based on the AAD_TENANT_ID environment variable, to be able to retrieve the Object ID (oid) claim corresponding with a user in Fabrikam's tenant and initialize the user_object_id variable.

# This code demonstrates how to fetch your Azure AD client ID and tenant ID
# from an environment variable.
client_id = os.environ["AAD_CLIENT_ID"]
tenant_id = os.environ["AAD_TENANT_ID"]
authority = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/%s" % tenant_id

# Create an instance of PublicClientApplication
app = PublicClientApplication(client_id, authority=authority)

scopes = [ 
"https://auth.msft.communication.azure.com/Teams.ManageCalls",
"https://auth.msft.communication.azure.com/Teams.ManageChats"
 ]

# Retrieve the AAD token and object ID of a Teams user
result = app.acquire_token_interactive(scopes)
aad_token =  result["access_token"]
user_object_id = result["id_token_claims"]["oid"]

Step 2: Initialize the CommunicationIdentityClient

Add this code inside the try block:

# This code demonstrates how to fetch your connection string
# from an environment variable.
connection_string = os.environ["COMMUNICATION_SERVICES_CONNECTION_STRING"]

# Instantiate the identity client
client = CommunicationIdentityClient.from_connection_string(connection_string)

Step 3: Exchange the Microsoft Entra access token of the Teams User for a Communication Identity access token

Use the get_token_for_teams_user method to issue an access token for the Teams user that can be used with the Azure Communication Services SDKs.

# Exchange the Azure AD access token of the Teams User for a Communication Identity access token
token_result = client.get_token_for_teams_user(aad_token, client_id, user_object_id)
print("Token: " + token_result.token)

Run the code

From a console prompt, navigate to the directory containing the exchange-teams-access-tokens.py file, then execute the following python command to run the app.

python ./exchange-communication-access-tokens.py

        // Quickstart code goes here
    }
}

Step 1: Receive the Microsoft Entra user token and object ID via the MSAL library

The first step in the token exchange flow is getting a token for your Teams user by using Microsoft.Identity.Client. It's essential to configure the MSAL client with the correct authority, based on the tenantId variable, to be able to retrieve the Object ID (oid) claim corresponding with a user in Fabrikam's tenant and initialize the userObjectId variable.

// You need to provide your Azure AD client ID and tenant ID
String appId = "<contoso_application_id>";
String tenantId = "<contoso_tenant_id>";
String authority = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/" + tenantId;

// Create an instance of PublicClientApplication
PublicClientApplication pca = PublicClientApplication.builder(appId)
        .authority(authority)
        .build();

String redirectUri = "http://localhost";
Set<String> scope = new HashSet<String>();
scope.add("https://auth.msft.communication.azure.com/Teams.ManageCalls");

                    .builder(new URI(redirectUri))
                    .scopes(scope)
                    .build();

// Retrieve the AAD token and object ID of a Teams user
IAuthenticationResult result = pca.acquireToken(parameters).get();
String teamsUserAadToken = result.accessToken();
String[] accountIds = result.account().homeAccountId().split("\\.");
String userObjectId = accountIds[0];
System.out.println("Teams token: " + teamsUserAadToken);

Step 2: Initialize the CommunicationIdentityClient

Instantiate a CommunicationIdentityClient with your resource's access key and endpoint. Learn how to manage your resource's connection string. In addition, you can initialize the client with any custom HTTP client the implements the com.azure.core.http.HttpClient interface.

Add the following code to the main method:

//You can find your connection string from your resource in the Azure portal
String connectionString = "<connection_string>";

// Instantiate the identity client
CommunicationIdentityClient communicationIdentityClient = new CommunicationIdentityClientBuilder()
    .connectionString(connectionString)
    .buildClient();

Step 3: Exchange the Microsoft Entra access token of the Teams User for a Communication Identity access token

Use the getTokenForTeamsUser method to issue an access token for the Teams user that can be used with the Azure Communication Services SDKs.

// Exchange the Azure AD access token of the Teams User for a Communication Identity access token
GetTokenForTeamsUserOptions options = new GetTokenForTeamsUserOptions(teamsUserAadToken, appId, userObjectId);
var accessToken = communicationIdentityClient.getTokenForTeamsUser(options);
System.out.println("Token: " + accessToken.getToken());

Run the code

Navigate to the directory containing the pom.xml file and compile the project by using the mvn compile command.

Then, build the package.

mvn package

Run the following mvn command to execute the app.

mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.communication.quickstart.App" -Dexec.cleanupDaemonThreads=false

The user represents the Fabrikam users of the Contoso application. The user experience is shown in the following diagram:

Diagram of user actions to enable Azure Communication Services support for Teams identities.

The Fabrikam user uses the Contoso client application and is prompted to authenticate.
The Contoso client application uses the MSAL to authenticate the user against the Fabrikam Microsoft Entra tenant for the Contoso application with Communication Services Teams.ManageCalls and Teams.ManageChats permissions.
Authentication is redirected to the server, as defined in the property Redirect URI in the MSAL and the Contoso application.
The Contoso server exchanges the Microsoft Entra user token for the access token of Teams user by using the Communication Services Identity SDK and returns the access token of Teams user to the client application.

With a valid access token for Teams user in the client application, developers can integrate the Communication Services Calling SDK and manage calls as Teams user.
