Enable accessible email flow

  • Article

To improve accessibility when reading and editing email in customer engagement apps (Dynamics 365 Sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Dynamics 365 Field Service, Dynamics 365 Marketing, and Dynamics 365 Project Service Automation), we're introducing an app that provides an accessible email flow. This topic explains how admins can enable this flow and how end users can access it.

For admins: Install the app

Follow these steps to deploy the solution and enable users to use the accessible flow.

  2. Select Admin centers > Dynamics 365.

  3. Select the environments tab, select the environment to add the app to, and then select Manage your solutions Manage your solutions..

  4. Select the Email in Unified Interface app, and then select Install.

Provide users with permissions for the accessible email access flow

  1. Go to Settings > Security > Users.

  2. In the list, select the user or users that you want to assign a security role to.

  3. Select Manage Roles.

    Only the security roles available for a user's business unit are displayed.

  4. In the Manage User Roles dialog box, select the Email app access role security role, and then select OK.

Notify users

Once the app is installed, notify users that they need to reload the web application to see and use the accessible email flow.
