# Scoping Outlook Add-in users in the Microsoft 365 admin center

## Overview

This article covers how to deploy the Opensense Outlook Add-in to users in your Microsoft 365 organization, manage the group scope, and grant admin consent so users don't get permission prompts one by one.

Before you deploy, confirm that your organization meets the requirements in [Outlook Add-in supported environments](https://help.opensense.com/docs/supported-environments-for-the-opensense-outlook-add-in). Test with a pilot group before you roll out to the entire organization.

:::note[GCC High]
Microsoft's Integrated apps portal isn't available in government clouds. For GCC High, see [Opensense Outlook Add-in integration with GCC High environments](https://help.opensense.com/docs/opensense-add-in-integration-with-gcc-high-environments).
:::

## Step 1: Set the deployment scope

1. Sign in to the [Microsoft 365 admin center](https://admin.microsoft.com).
2. Go to **Settings** > **Integrated apps**.
3. Find and select **Opensense Email Signatures** in the list.
4. Select the **Users** tab, or **Edit users**, and choose who gets the add-in:
   - **Entire organization:** every user gets the add-in. Use this only if all outbound email should get an Opensense signature.
   - **Specific users/groups:** only the users and groups you pick. Make sure every user who needs the add-in is in the assigned group.
   - **Just me:** only you, the administrator. Use this for initial testing only.
5. Select **Update** to save your changes.

:::caution[Nested groups aren't supported]
Microsoft doesn't support nested groups for Centralized Deployment. Users must be assigned directly to a top-level Microsoft 365 group. Integrated apps also doesn't support dynamic distribution groups or non-mail-enabled security groups. For details, see [Microsoft's Centralized Deployment FAQ](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/manage/centralized-deployment-faq?view=o365-worldwide).
:::

## Step 2: Add users to the scoped group

If the add-in is deployed to **Specific users/groups**, make sure everyone who should get it is a member of the assigned group.

1. In the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to **Teams & groups** > **Active teams & groups**.
2. Select the group assigned to the Opensense Add-in (for example, `opensense_addin@yourdomain.com`).
3. On the **Membership** tab, select **Members**, and then select **Add members**.
4. Search for and select the users who should get the Opensense Add-in.
5. Select **Save**.

To remove a user instead, open the same group, and on the **Membership** tab, select **Members**. Select the **X** next to the user, and then select **Save**. Users removed from the group stop getting Opensense signatures after about 48 to 72 hours. To remove the add-in itself, see [Removing the Outlook Add-in in the Microsoft 365 admin center](https://help.opensense.com/docs/how-to-remove-the-opensense-add-in-from-m365-admin).

:::tip[Add-in never appeared for one user?]
If a user's add-in never appeared, or their profile seems stuck, remove that user from the group and add them again. This resets their deployment queue without affecting anyone else. See [Step 7 in Troubleshooting the Outlook Add-in](https://help.opensense.com/docs/outlook-add-in-troubleshooting-guide-2#step-7-regrant-admin-consent-and-reset-the-users-scope).
:::


## Step 3: Re-grant admin consent

Without admin consent, each user is prompted to accept permissions when the add-in deploys. Grant admin consent in advance, so the add-in activates without any user action.

1. Sign in to the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com).
2. Go to **Entra ID** > **Enterprise apps** > **All applications**.
3. Search for and select **Opensense Email Signatures**.
4. Under **Security**, select **Permissions**.
5. Select **Grant admin consent for [Your Organization]**.
6. Confirm the consent to allow the required permissions.

You can also do this in the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com), under **Microsoft Entra ID** (formerly Azure Active Directory) > **Enterprise applications**.

:::caution[Re-grant after every scope change]
Re-grant admin consent any time you add users or groups to the deployment scope. Changes can take up to 72 hours to fully propagate. Restarting Outlook can speed this up for individual users.
