Updated September 6, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
New org-wide application permissions and RSC application permissions have been introduced to allow apps to access meeting recordings for a specific meeting. Resource specific consent (RSC) permissions, specifically enables admins to authorize users to provide consent to apps, so they get specific access to a Teams meeting’s recordings to which it is installed to, rather than providing them access across the entire tenant.
This message is specifically associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 95787
[When this will happen:]
Graph Beta We will begin rolling out in late August 2023 (previously late July) and expect to complete by mid-September 2023 (previously early August).
Standard Release: We will begin rollout in mid-November 2023 (previously late September) and expect to complete by mid-December 2023 (previously mid-October).
[How this will affect your organization:]
As a tenant admin, you will have separate org-wide application permissions to access meeting recordings across the organization. You can now switch to a more restrictive permission for apps to access only recordings. Alternatively, you could opt for a self-serve model wherein meeting organizers/presenters can authorize individual apps to access the recordings for specific meetings. This is possible via thew feature Resource-Specific Consent.
To enable the new meeting recordings-related org-wide application permissions:
You can review and accept org-wide application permissions for apps that require access to Teams meeting recordings in your organization through the Azure portal (Azure Active Directory > Enterprise applications > <App Name> > Permissions)
To enable the new meeting recordings-related meeting specific RSC application permissions:
As a tenant admin, you will have the ability to turn on/off resource-specific consent for apps in chats/meeting using a master switch. Once enabled, authorized users can now authorize a Teams app in a meeting, to access for that specific meeting using these permissions. More details can be found here.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
Org-wide Application permissions:
Review and accept permissions for apps that require access to Teams Meetings recordings in your organization (both app and delegated context) through the AAD portal through Enterprise Applications > App Name > Permissions.
Meeting specific RSC Application Permissions:
- Read this resource to understand how you can control whether you want to allow resource owners to grant RSC permission for apps in meetings directly.
- You can also view the list of RSC permissions for a Teams app in the Teams Admin Center (Team Apps ->Manage apps-> <App Name> -> Permissions tab).
Take into consideration whether to notify your users about this new capability and update your training and documentation as appropriate.
