Add tab to channel

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Add (pin) a tab to the specified channel within a team. The app must be preinstalled in the team and have the configurableTabs property defined in the app manifest.

Note: If the app manifest for a given appId contains a static tab that matches the current scope (team), the static tab is pinned by default.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

This API supports admin permissions. Microsoft Teams service admins can access teams that they aren't a member of.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	TeamsTab.Create	Directory.ReadWrite.All, Group.ReadWrite.All, TeamsTab.ReadWrite.All, TeamsTab.ReadWriteForTeam, TeamsTab.ReadWriteSelfForTeam
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	TeamsTab.Create.Group	Directory.ReadWrite.All, Group.ReadWrite.All, TeamsTab.Create, TeamsTab.ReadWrite.All, TeamsTab.ReadWriteForTeam.All, TeamsTab.ReadWriteSelfForTeam.All

Note

• The TeamsTab.Create.Group permission uses resource-specific consent.
• The Group.ReadWrite.All and Directory.ReadWrite.All permissions are supported only for backward compatibility. We recommend that you update your solutions to use an alternative permission listed in the previous table and avoid using these permissions going forward.

HTTP request

POST /teams/{team-id}/channels/{channel-id}/tabs

Request headers

Header	Value
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.

Request body

A teamsTab.

Note

When you pin a static tab, Teams takes the displayName and configuration from the app manifest. If these properties are specified in the request body, this API returns a 400 Bad Request response code.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code.
