Install app for user

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Install an app in the personal scope of the specified user.

Note: This API works differently in one or more national clouds. For details, see Microsoft Teams API implementation differences in national clouds.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	❌

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteSelfForUser	TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteAndConsentForUser, TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteAndConsentSelfForUser, TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteForUser, TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteSelectedForUser
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteSelfForUser.All	TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteAndConsentForUser.All, TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteAndConsentSelfForUser.All, TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteForUser.All, TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteSelectedForUser.All

Note

If you want your app to install, get, upgrade, or remove an app for the user, you must use the TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteForUser permission.

HTTP request

POST /users/{user-id | user-principal-name}/teamwork/installedApps

Request headers

Header	Value
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-type	application/json. Required.

Request body

The request body should contain the catalog generated app ID for the app catalog. For details, see teamsApp properties. The following table lists additional parameters that can be used with the request body.

Parameter	Type	Description
consentedPermissionSet	teamsAppPermissionSet	Set of resource-specific permissions that are being consented to.

Note: The permissions consented to during the install must be same as the resource-specific permissions present in the teamsAppDefinition of the app. To get the application and delegated resource-specific permissions, see List apps installed in the personal scope of a user. If only delegated resource-specific permissions are present in teamsAppDefinition, permissions can be omitted in the body of this request.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code. It doesn't return anything in the response body.
