Is it possible to publish bot to all teams in my organization?

I have a bot deployed on various internal websites using the Directline API. I would now like to deploy to Teams, restricted to our organization (ie not public). I'm aware of how to upload an app to a single team, but we'd like to not have to do this for every single team if possible.

This post asks the same question, but it's quite old now:

Limit a teams bot to my organization

Is there a way to deploy the bot to teams such that it is available to All teams, but limited to our organization?

Solution

  • There is currently no organization specific distribution mechanism.

    @Mikhail2k15, those are great feature ideas. A bot could enforce AAD SG membership itself by requiring the user to log in first, but a top-down way of enforcing this is good.

    I will discuss this with the team, but in the meantime please add these as suggestions using UserVoice - click on the Feedback (lightbulb icon) and add these two feature ideas as individual requests so other users can vote on them too (I haven't checked to see that they exist yet - they might).
