Important
APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.
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.

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.
