Step 2: Add the apps to your tenant

Congratulations! Both apps are now present within your Microsoft Teams tenant.

Step 3: Grant the apps permissions

  1. As a global administrator open Manage apps
  2. In the list of apps, find the app you want to install (Firefly Curriculum or Firefly Seating Plan
  3. Open the app details by selecting the app name (you can do this by clicking on the name itself, in the name column, as opposed to just clicking on the row in the table).
