Set up LeaderKit in Microsoft Teams: guide for your IT admin

For your Microsoft 365 or Teams admin. It takes about 5 minutes. After this, LeaderKit is pinned in Teams for your people, and most are linked to their LeaderKit account automatically by email.

LeaderKit isn't in a public Teams app listing. Your IT admin installs it for your organisation with admin consent.

Before you start

• Who does it: someone with the Teams Administrator role (steps 2 and 3), and a Global Administrator, Privileged Role Administrator, Cloud Application Administrator or Application Administrator (step 1). One person can do it all if they have both.
• The app files: a LeaderKit admin in your company opens Settings → Integrations → Microsoft Teams → Admin setup. That page has the consent button and the downloads. If your IT admin doesn't use LeaderKit, that person can download the files and send them over.
• Custom apps: custom app upload must be allowed in your org-wide app settings.

Step 1. Grant LeaderKit access

1. Sign in as a Global Administrator, Privileged Role Administrator, Cloud Application Administrator or Application Administrator.
2. On the Admin setup page, click Grant LeaderKit access.
3. Review the permissions and accept.

This lets LeaderKit's Teams tabs sign people in without prompts. It applies to your organisation only.

Step 2. Upload the LeaderKit app

1. On the Admin setup page, download the LeaderKit app.
2. In the Teams admin center, go to Teams apps → Manage apps → Upload new app.
3. Upload the file.
4. Check that LeaderKit is Allowed.

Step 3. Install and pin it for everyone

1. In the Teams admin center, go to Teams apps → Setup policies → Global (or a group policy).
2. Add LeaderKit under Installed apps and under Pinned apps.
3. Save.

It can take a few hours to show up. LeaderKit then appears in everyone's app bar with a My goals tab, and LeaderKit in Microsoft Teams sends reminders.

Optional: channel tab

Upload the separate channel-tab app from the Admin setup page the same way as step 2. A team owner then adds it to a channel (+ then LeaderKit Channel) and picks a workspace. See "Optional channel tab for team meeting prep and the weekly digest".

Removing LeaderKit

1. Delete LeaderKit in Teams apps → Manage apps.
2. Remove "LeaderKit" from Entra admin center → Enterprise applications.
