What Information Does the Microsoft Teams Integration Access?

Last updated: November 13, 2026

Five Microsoft permissions give Ambition the team, channel, and user details it needs to post Workflows and mention the correct employees. Chat and channel messages written by your team are not part of that access.

Microsoft Permissions Requested

  • Sign you in and read your profile (User.Read): Gets the authorizing admin's name, email, and organization.

  • Read all users' basic profiles (User.ReadBasic.All): Gets users' names, emails, and IDs to match them to Ambition users.

  • Read the names and descriptions of channels (Channel.ReadBasic.All): Gets channel names to fill the Workflow channel list.

  • Read group memberships (GroupMember.Read.All): Gets team names, including private teams, and their members. This one requires admin consent.

  • Maintain access to data you have given it access to (offline_access): Lets Ambition keep syncing without asking again.

What Ambition Stores

  • The organization's name and Microsoft ID.

  • Team names and IDs, and standard channel names and IDs.

  • Users' names, emails, and Microsoft IDs, including people without an Ambition account.

  • Only the messages Ambition posts.
