Microsoft Teams admin center: We will retire Graph connector management

Microsoft will retire the Graph connector management feature from the Teams admin center starting April 14, 2025. Admins should transition to the Search & Intelligence feature in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Existing settings will be maintained, and app functionality will not be impacted. Due to low usage, we will retire the Graph connector management feature from the Microsoft Teams admin center starting April 14, 2025 and ending in late April 2025. Instead, we recommend admins transition their Microsoft Graph connector management activities to the Search & Intelligence feature in the Microsoft 365 admin center. How this will affect your organization: Before this retirement, for Teams apps with the graphConnector property in the manifest, the Teams admin center provides the Graph connector management control to enable or disable the connection to Microsoft Graph. When this control is turned on, the app content is integrated with Microsoft Graph and available for search in Microsoft 365. When this control is turned off, the app content is not integrated with Microsoft Graph. The rest of the app functionality is not impacted by this control. For apps with the graphConnector property, the management control is in the Teams admin center > Manage apps > App details page > Graph connector tab and is available on per-app basis: View image in new tab After this retirement, admins will not be able to turn on or off the connection to Microsoft Graph for Teams apps from the Teams admin center. We will maintain the existing state (on or off) for all apps that may have this property. What you need to do to prepare: This change will happen automatically by the specified date. After this retirement is implemented, there is no impact on users. Any apps used in your environment with the graphConnector property will continue to function and will not be impacted. After this retirement, to manage the graph connector for any Teams app, you can: Delete the connection at Microsoft 365 admin center > Settings > Search and intelligence.
