Integrate a new Microsoft Teams source

info

For now, only real-time scanning is supported. All detectors are supported, with the exception of these 2 generic detectors, in order to limit the risk of false positives:

• Generic High Entropy Secret
• Generic Password

Setting up and configuring this integration is limited to users with an Owner or Manager access level. Microsoft Teams tenant installation is only open to workspaces under the Business plan, but uninstallation is open to all. Alternatively, you can install and test secret detection in Microsoft Teams with a 30-day trial. Any secret incidents created during this period will remain accessible in your incident dashboard after the trial period.

GitGuardian integrates natively with Microsoft Teams via an Entra app that you can install on your Microsoft Teams tenants. Note that the GitGuardian Entra app only has read access to your channels.

Setup your Microsoft Teams integration

You can install GitGuardian on multiple Microsoft Teams tenants to monitor your standard, private and shared channels.

1. Make sure you're logged as administrator in the Microsoft Teams tenant you want to install
2. In the GitGuardian platform, navigate to the Integrations page
3. Click on the Install button on the Microsoft Teams card in the Messaging section
4. Click on the Install button of the Microsoft Teams integration page
5. Select your Microsoft Teams administrator account
6. Click on the Accept button to accept the permissions requested by GitGuardian

That's it! Our GitGuardian Entra app is now automatically installed on your Microsoft Teams tenant. It will now start monitoring all posts shared on your standard, private and shared channels for secrets.

Uninstall your Microsoft Teams tenant

To uninstall a Microsoft Teams tenant:

1. In the GitGuardian platform, navigate to the Integrations page
2. Click on the Microsoft Teams card in the Messaging section
3. Click on the bin icon next to the Microsoft Teams tenant to be uninstalled
4. Confirm by clicking on the Yes, uninstall button in the confirmation modal

That's it! Your Microsoft Teams tenant is now uninstalled and the associated secret incidents remain visible in the incident dashboard.
