Set up Microsoft Teams integration

Microsoft Teams integration must be prepared by an administrator and be configured and confirmed by each Teams user who wants to benefit from the integration.

Administrators are users who have the SysAdmin global role. Before any user can complete the Teams integration, administrators must link the Collibra Platform to the Teams tenant.

Prerequisites

  • A Teams tenant is available.
  • Appropriate Collibra user accounts are added to the Teams tenant.
  • You have coordinated with your internal IT department to complete your internal approval process. This may involve application, security, and privacy reviews, depending on your organization's policies.
  • Ensure that your environment uses the latest user interface.

Steps

  1. On the main toolbar, click Products icon → Settings.
  2. In the General section, click External Apps.
  3. For the Teams app, click Activate. Depending on your organization's settings, one of the following occurs:
    • The Pick an Account page prompts you to select the account associated with the Teams tenant where you want to activate Collibra. If the account for the desired Teams tenant is not listed, select Use another account.
    • The Teams Request Permissions page opens, requesting permission to access a Teams tenant for Collibra Platform. After this step, a request is sent to your IT administrator for approval. Please work with your IT team to complete the approval process.
  4. You are redirected to Collibra with a success message that the app has been activated.

Note Notifications aren't sent yet to users when Teams is integrated with Collibra. Users must connect their user accounts first.

Prerequisites

  • Your administrator has followed the setup documentation to activate the Teams app for your Collibra instance.
  • You have an active user account for a Teams tenant.
  • Your Collibra environment connects exclusively to one Teams tenant.
  • Ensure that your environment uses the latest user interface.

Steps

  1. Install the Collibra app in Microsoft Teams.
  2. On the main toolbar, click your avatar → Profile.
  3. On the Notification Settings tab, in the External app notifications section, click the Connect button next to Teams.
    A confirmation message appears. You also receive a Teams notification in the connected tenant indicating that Collibra is set up.
