Capabilities

 

Application Permissions or Roles limit the access of your application to Skype for Business Online to a specific set of capabilities.  To configure your app for Skype for Business Online, you first need to specify which permissions your app requires. You specify these permissions in application registration for your app in the Azure management portal for Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). Select the application permissions type, as these are directly assigned to the application.

 

We have exposed the following application permissions in the current release, which the SaaS application can use via the APIs:

 

Join and Manage Skype Meetings (preview)

Allows the app to join and manage Skype meetings

Create on-demand Skype meetings (preview)

Allows the app to create on-demand Skype meetings (short term expiry)

Send/Receive Instant Messages (preview)

Allows the app to send and receive instant messages; and manage instant messaging service scenarios

Guest user join services (preview)

Allows the app create an on-demand Skype meeting and join guest users into Skype for Business services

 

 

 

Note that these capabilities need to selected in the AAD management portal during the SaaS application's Registration in Azure Active Directory and have Tenant Admin Consent, before they can be used for a tenant.
