M365 Changelog: Microsoft Teams admin center: App Management Unification Impact report – Jan 18, 2025

Summary

The new App Management Unification Impact report helps administrators preview changes to app and tenant settings before the unified management of Microsoft Teams apps is implemented. It will be available in February 2025 for tenants with Microsoft App Centric management, allowing admins to adjust settings accordingly.

MC982569 – Microsoft is introducing the App Management Unification Impact report, a new tool that offers administrators a comprehensive preview of changes to app and tenant settings before the implementation of the unified management of Microsoft Teams apps (MC796790). This report brings awareness to the expected changes, enabling admins to adjust settings in Teams admin center or Microsoft 365 admin center before unification is applied. The report is available only in tenants that have migrated to Microsoft App Centric management (MC688930).

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide): Microsoft will begin rolling out early February 2025 and expects to complete by late February 2025.

How this will affect your organization:

The report will be available on the Manage Apps page in the Teams admin center to preview changes to app or tenant settings resulting from the upcoming release of unified app management.

What you need to do to prepare:

Administrators should run the App Management Unification Impact report from the Manage Apps page in the Teams admin center. This report will display apps and agents listed in the Teams admin center along with their tenant settings and app availability values as well as those in the Integrated Apps page of the Microsoft 365 admin center. The report will show the projected unification outcomes for each app and agent, enabling administrators to preview changes resulting from the upcoming release of unified app management (announced in MC796790, roadmap item 393931). The report will use the merge logic previously shared in public documentation. Administrators may need to make changes in either the Teams admin center or Microsoft 365 admin center and coordinate with other departments.
