Nested app auth requirement set

Requirement sets are named groups of API members. Office Add-ins use requirement sets specified in the manifest or use a runtime check to determine whether an Office application supports APIs that an add-in needs. For more information, see Office versions and requirement sets.

Office Add-ins run across multiple versions of Office. The following table lists the nested app auth (NAA) requirement set, the supported Office client applications, and the minimum builds or versions for those applications where applicable.

Requirement set Outlook on the web Outlook on Windows
  • Microsoft 365 subscription
Office on Windows
  • retail perpetual
  • volume-licensed perpetual
Outlook on Mac Outlook on iOS Outlook on Android
NestedAppAuth 1.1 Supported Version 2409 (Build 18025.20000) Not available Version 16.89 (Build 24090815) Build v4.2433.0 Build v4.2433.0

Important

  • Currently, the NestedAppAuth 1.1 requirement set is supported in Office on the web only for documents that are opened from Microsoft SharePoint Online and OneDrive.
  • In Outlook, the NestedAppAuth 1.1 requirement set isn't supported if the add-in is loaded in an Outlook.com or Gmail mailbox.

Supported accounts and hosts

NAA supports both Microsoft Accounts and Microsoft Entra ID (work/school) identities. It doesn't support Azure Active Directory B2C for business-to-consumer identity management scenarios. The following table explains the current support by platform. Platforms listed as generally available (GA) are ready for production usage in your add-in.

Important

To use NAA on platforms that are still in preview (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), join the Microsoft 365 Insider Program (https://insider.microsoft365.com/join) and choose Current Channel (Preview). Don't use NAA in production add-ins for any preview platforms. We invite you to try out NAA in test or development environments and welcome feedback on your experience through GitHub (see the Feedback section at the end of this page).

Outlook and NestedAppAuth requirement set

To require the NestedAppAuth requirement set 1.1 in your Outlook add-in code, check if it's supported by calling isSetSupported('NestedAppAuth', '1.1'). Declaring it in the Outlook add-in's manifest isn't supported. You can also determine if the API is supported by checking that it's not undefined. For further details, see Using APIs from later requirement sets.
