Integration of Microsoft Project with Outlook and Teams.

Requirements

• What does a user need for Allocatus?

  As a project manager your need for Allocatus any version of the Microsoft Project desktop app (classic Windows application).

  If you do not have a version of Microsoft Project, we can provide you with a free trial version.

  All other stakeholders, who want to see their tasks from Microsoft Project in their Outlook calendar need Exchange Online which is part of Microsoft 365.

• Which consent do I need from my IT for Allocatus?

  The first user who creates an Allocatus subscription gets an email that allows him/her to grant Allocatus access to their calendar. This is only possible if your organization allows users to add apps to their Microsoft 365 environment.

  This can be configured in  Azure Active Directory under Enterprise Applications/Consent and permissions/User Consent Permissions.

  Users can add the Allocatus app to their Azure tenant if the option Allow user consent for apps or Allow user consent for apps from verified publishers, for selected permissions (Recommended) is activated. For the second option you need to grant the following permission under the section Permission classification for Microsoft Graph:

  User.Read	Sign in and read user profile
  openid	Sign users in
  MailboxSettings.ReadWrite	Read and Write mailbox settings
  offline_access	Maintain access to data you have given access to
  Calendars.ReadWrite	Have full access to user calendars

   

  If the option Do not allow user consent is activated, you will see the Need admin approval dialog.

  

  Your Microsoft 365 Global Administrator can allow Allocatus for your organization by clicking  the following link:

  https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/adminconsent?client_id=a26f6f45-5635-45ce-8aed-164581f8e066&redirect_uri=https://token.cloud.allocatus.com/redirect

  

  If the admin gives consent without any further configuration, all users in your organization can grant Allocatus access their calendar (delegated permission). 

  Once the project managers adds a resource to the project and publishes it for the first time to Allocatus an e-mail is sent out to the user asking for consent.

• Which consent do I need from my IT for Allocatus Teams integration

  The interface for Microsoft Teams requires additional rights, including to create and edit teams:

  User.Read.All	Read all user’s full profiles
  Group.ReadWrite.All	Read and write all groups
  TeamMember.ReadWrite.All	Add and remove members from all teams
  Team.Create	Create teams
  TeamSettings.ReadWrite.All	Read and change all teams’ settings
  TeamsTab.Create	Create tabs in Microsoft Teams
  TeamsTab.ReadWrite.All	Read and write tabs in Microsoft Teams
  Team.ReadBasic.All	Get a list of all teams

   

  As an administrator, you can use the following link to allow Allocatus Teams Interface for your organization:
  
  https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/adminconsent?client_id=cdd4a1cd-c268-4a39-9534-2fee4ed10db3&redirect_uri=https://webapp.cloud.allocatus.com

• How do I get Microsoft Project?

  In case the desktop app of Microsoft Project is not installed on your local PC, you can ask your IT department to assign a Microsoft Project Plan 3 in the Microsoft 365 Admin Portal to your user and install the software on your computer (Microsoft Online Desktop Client).

  Also, we are happy to provide your with a free trial version of Microsoft Project.

• Where can I download the Allocatus Project Add-In?

  The first user, who request Allocatus in our organization, gets a link to download the Allocatus Add-In for Microsoft Project. In case you need the link again: 

  https://holert.blob.core.windows.net/allocatus/setup.exe

  To install the add-In you do not need administrator permission, so any project manager can download the add-in theirselves and get subsequent updates automatically.
