MS Teams

Microsoft Teams is a team collaboration application developed by Microsoft as part of the Microsoft 365 family of products. It offers workspace chat and video conferencing, file storage, and integration of proprietary and third-party applications and services.

In order to utilize MS Teams functionalities within the imc Learning Suite, such as creating meetings or groups, it is essential to link the active directory credentials (client id, tenant id, client secret) for the tenant to the imc Learning Suite. This is possible via the “External Service Providers Manager” by selecting MS Teams. 

The external service provider for MS Teams requires a client ID, client secret and tenant ID that must be obtained via the Azure Active Directory setup. Corresponding fields are available for each of the three.

The system allows you to create multiple external providers of type MS Teams. This ensures that in a multi-tenant system, users belonging to different tenants can use different Teams installations.

Group Naming Policy

A group naming policy is added to the tenant (organisation) 's External Service Provider page.

Azure Active Directory offers a group naming policy. If a group naming policy is implemented within the organisation, it is important to mirror this policy in the external service provider of the organisation.

If the group naming policy exists within the Azure Active Directory for the organisation, and the same prefix/suffix is not configured in the Learning Management System, the group creation feature may result in issues.

It is worth highlighting that even if a group naming policy is not implemented within the Azure Active Directory, it remains possible to utilize this feature within the Learning Management System. This allows for a clear differentiation between groups created through the Organisation settings and those created specifically via the Learning Management System. 

Group naming policy is added on the External Service Provider page of the tenant (organisation).
