Summary:
The migration to app-centric management for Teams apps is occurring in three phases: automatic migration for single policy customers (completed by end of March 2025), self-migration using the Migration Wizard (available until end of March 2025), and automatic migration for all customers starting in April 2025. Detailed documentation is available [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoftteams/app-centric-management).
Details:
Updated March 26, 2025: We have provided additional details about Phase 3 below.
The migration to app-centric management using the Migration Wizard (Phase 2) started rolling out in late November 2024 and completed rolling out in mid-December 2024. Administrators are now able to start the migration themselves using the wizard. The automatic migration for customers with only a global permission policy (Phase 1) will complete by end-March 2025 and those with multiple permission policies (Phase 3) will begin in April 2025
Detailed documentation for the migration process is available at App centric management to manage user access to Teams apps - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn.
App centric management introduces new admin settings to control who in the tenant can install Teams apps. First, admins can set a default value for new apps that are published to the Teams app store. Second, admins can manage apps for users, groups, or everyone in the organization. This feature replaces the existing app permission policies and provides admins with the ability to manage access to the app individually. The app permission policies for existing customers are migrated to maintain existing app availability in the tenant.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 151829
[When this will happen:]
This feature will gradually roll out across three major phases.
Phase 1: Auto-migration for only single policy customers - This is applicable for customer with only a global permission policy. The roll-out has started and will be complete by end of March 2025.
Phase 2: Self-migration - admins of our customers can do self-migration using the Migration Wizard. This is the preferred way for customers to have tenant admin to be in the loop of migration. The migration Wizard is available to all customers now till end of March 2025. If you need more time to prepare for self-migration, please reach out to support.
Phase 3: Auto-migration for all customers - This is for customers who have not completed self-migration in Phase 2. This is targeted to start in April 2025. Auto-migration will maintain the same access defined in app permission policies whenever there is no conflict between a user's assigned policies[SD1.1][BN1.2]. If a user's policies conflict by allowing and blocking the same app for them, we will auto-migrate their app as allowed. After auto-migration, there will be a security group created for each set of users assigned to each app permission policy. These groups will be assigned to each app they are allowed in their respective policy, maintaining their app access. Groups Administrators can manage these groups like any others to customize the app centric management assignments, such as adding and removing users, or removing the group and replacing it with another.

| 2025-03-05 | MC Messages | Updated February 4, 2025: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
The migration to app-centric management using the Migration Wizard (referenced as Phase 2 in this post) is expected to resume by late-November 2024 and complete the roll out by mid-December 2024. At that time, administrators will be able to self-initiate the migration using the wizard. The automatic migration for customers with only a global permission policy (Phase 1) and those with multiple permission policies (Phase 3) will be postponed until early 2025. Further updates, including the details for Phase 3 auto-migration, will be provided in a future MC post update and public documentation. App centric management (ACM) is on hold as of August 14, 2024, and will restart in mid-October (previously mid-September). Your experience during this hold will fall under one of the following, with Phases defined in detail below. If your tenant has already been migrated to ACM, it will remain on ACM. The rest of this MC post is not applicable to your tenant. If your tenant fell under the Phase 1 criteria of using only the Global app permission policy and no custom app permission policies, it will resume auto migration in mid-September. If you do not have a draft currently saved, you will not be able to access ACM migration until the roll out restarts. What is in Phase 2? Migration wizard: a step-by-step guide to help you migrate the permission policies. You will be able to select which polities to migrate and designate users groups or individuals who should have access to the apps. Testing and Validation: before finalizing the migration, you will have the opportunity to test and export your staged changes. You can use this to make side-by-side comparison with your current setup, ensuring everything is perfect before you proceed. Duration: The migration process is designed to have no downtime for the end users and can take a few hours to complete.

The app status from the permission policy and tenant settings will be migrated to preserve the admin intent. The migration will not affect the end users and their ability to use the apps. Admins may see the Manage apps page in a read-only mode for a short time. Phase 2 (from late May 2024 to mid-December 2024 (previously mid-November)) affects the tenants that use both global and custom app permission policies. This phase will let the admin choose to migrate to app centric management by following a migration process that will change the existing app permission policies to app assignments in the new app centric model. The admins will have the choice to modify the apps that are assigned using the custom permission policies to be accessible to groups, if they want. Phase 3 (mid-April 2025) applies to the tenants that skipped the migration in phase 1 or 2. These tenants will be migrated automatically in this phase.

App centric management introduces new admin settings to control who in the tenant can install Teams apps. First, admins can set a default value for new apps that are published to the Teams app store. Second, admins can manage apps for users, groups, or everyone in the organization. This feature replaces the existing app permission policies and provides admins with the ability to manage access to the app individually. The app permission policies for existing customers are migrated to maintain existing app availability in the tenant.

The app status from the permission policy and tenant settings will be migrated to preserve the admin intent. The migration will not affect the end users and their ability to use the apps. Admins may see the Manage apps page in a read-only mode for a short time. Phase 2 (from late May 2024 to mid-December 2024 (previously mid-November)) affects the tenants that use both global and custom app permission policies. This phase will let the admin choose to migrate to app centric management by following a migration process that will change the existing app permission policies to app assignments in the new app centric model. The admins will have the choice to modify the apps that are assigned using the custom permission policies to be accessible to groups, if they want. Phase 3 (early 2025) applies to the tenants that skipped the migration in phase 1 or 2. These tenants will be migrated automatically in this phase. More details to come as a follow up MC post. |

Duration: The migration process is designed to have no downtime for the end users and can take a few hours to complete.

Detailed documentation for the migration process will be available in our online documentation, which currently includes information on managing apps after ACM migration. App centric management introduces new admin settings to control who in the tenant can install Teams apps. First, admins can set a default value for new apps that are published to the Teams app store. Second, admins can manage apps for users, groups, or everyone in the organization. This feature replaces the existing app permission policies and provides admins with the ability to manage access to the app individually. The app permission policies for existing customers are migrated to maintain existing app availability in the tenant. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 151829 [When this will happen:] This feature will gradually roll out across three major phases. Phase 1 (from late November 2023 to mid-March 2024 (previously late February) affects the tenants that use only the Global app permission policy and have no custom app permission policies. The app status from the permission policy and tenant settings will be migrated to preserve the admin intent. The migration will not affect the end users and their ability to use the apps. Admins may see the Manage apps page in a read-only mode for a short time. Phase 2 (late June 2024 (previously May)) affects the tenants that use both global and custom app permission policies. This phase will let the admin choose to migrate to app centric management by following a migration process that will change the existing app permission policies to app assignments in the new app centric model. The admins will have the choice to modify the apps that are assigned using the custom permission policies to be accessible to groups, if they want. Phase 3 (more details coming soon as a follow up MC post) applies to the tenants that skipped the migration in phase 1 or 2.
