Microsoft Teams Security and Access

Security parameters for Microsoft Teams can be applied to:

  1. Individual Power (PUs) and Regular Users (RUs)
  2. Dimensions

The security model in the MI Chatbot is designed to determine those Elements that are accessible to Users in a Microsoft Teams Channel. It affects the ability to find, view and share the Element with other Users.

For additional information governing an individual User's access to an Element, see:

1. User Security

A Metric Insights' Admin, Power (PU) or Regular User (RU) may be invited to a channel in Microsoft Teams. Admins are able to see and share all the Elements available, but PUs and RUs could have access restrictions.

1.1. Admin User Access

Admin User will be able to view all Elements.

1.2. Power/Regular User Access

Power and Regular Users that don't have required access are able to find only Elements that are discoverable to Users without access.

Users can find a specific Element using MI Chatbot only if they have at least View access to it. Check the Controlling Access within Metric Insights chapter for more information.

2. Dimension Security

A Power or a Regular User who has View Access to a Dimensioned Element and one or more Dimension Values:

  • Will be able to find, preview or share this Element when addressing the bot
  • User only sees those Dimension Values to which they have access
