Set up Seamless in Microsoft 365
Seamless consists of two parts:
- The Seamless Admin Center (web), where Microsoft 365 administrators configure templates and policies
- The Seamless app for Microsoft Teams, which users work with
This guide takes you through the setup: sign in, grant the required permissions and assign the first administrator.
Before you start
- You need an account with the Global Administrator role in Microsoft 365.
- During setup, Microsoft asks for your consent to the permissions Seamless needs. You can review them beforehand under Permissions.
- The Admin Center is only available in English. The Seamless app in Microsoft Teams is available in German, English, French and Italian.

Setup
Sign in to the Admin Center
Open manage.seamlesswork.com (opens in a new tab) and sign in with your Global Administrator account.
Grant basic permissions
Microsoft shows a permissions request. Select Consent on behalf of your organization and click Accept.
These basic permissions give access to the Admin Center, but don't allow any changes yet. The full permissions follow in the setup assistant. You can pause the setup at any time and continue later at manage.seamlesswork.com/setup (opens in a new tab).
Open the setup assistant
The setup assistant now opens. It takes you through three steps in a fixed order:
- Consent: grant the full Microsoft 365 permissions.
- Admin: assign yourself as the first Seamless administrator.
- Configuration: runs automatically and prepares your tenant.
You start the first two steps yourself. The assistant stays visible until all steps are complete.
Grant full permissions
In the Consent step, click Update consent and sign in again with the same Global Administrator account. Review the permissions request and give your consent.
Seamless confirms that the consent has been received. Microsoft Entra ID needs a moment before the change is active. During this time, the step shows a status message. Click Refresh to check the current state. As soon as the change is active, the step is complete.
Assign the first administrator
The Admin Center needs at least one administrator on the Seamless enterprise application in Microsoft Entra ID.
In the Admin step, click Add. This assigns the signed-in user as administrator. You add more administrators later in Microsoft Entra ID or in the Admin Center.
Configuration
The configuration starts automatically. It registers your tenant with Seamless and activates the Seamless services for your Microsoft 365 environment.
As soon as this step is complete, Seamless is set up.
