# Microsoft 365 Teams access to Business Central

Set up the Teams app so users can search and share Business Central records.

Users with a Microsoft 365 Teams licence can access Business Central (BC) information without needing a specific Business Central licence.

## MS Documentation

No matter where you are in Teams, you can look up details about customers, vendors, and other Business Central contacts. This feature not only lets you view general information about contacts, but also gives access to interaction history, related documents, and more.

<https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/across-teams-overview>

## Setup

* User needs a standard Microsoft 365 licence with access to Teams, the assumption is that they don't have any licence for, or access to BC directly.
* From inside BC, run the **Update users from Microsoft 365** routine on the **Users** page, this will import these users.
* They are imported with a **Microsoft 365** licence and automatically assigned a **LOGIN** permission set. You need to give them additional access if they are to see anything.

## Tested Scenarios

### 1. Share in Teams from a Card page (Customer)

A normal BC User clicks **Share in Teams** from a customer card.

This is what the M365 Teams User receives...

* The **url** does not work, it tries to open the client as normal. User will get a permissions error.

When accessing Business Central with a Microsoft 365 licence, you can only view data in Microsoft Teams. If you need direct access to Business Central, contact your administrator to get a Business Central licence.

* The **Details** button opens a window inside Teams showing a non-editable customer card. There is no ribbon, no field drill down or lookups. No access to anything other than on the face of the card.

### 2. Share in Teams from a List page (Sales Orders)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kb.bevica.com/documentation/guides/crm/microsoft365_teams_access_to_business_central.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
