Define settings for the Seamless App

In the App tab, you control per template what owners may change in the Seamless App and which rules apply in the team.

Archiving

Control whether owners may archive in the Seamless App and, if so, under which condition.

Example

With a condition, you map business processes. A project is closed in accounting. The external system sets the status of the workspace to closed via the Seamless API. Only then can owners archive it. Such processes are common with integrations.

1. Open Groups → Templates → organisation → template → App.

2. Under Allow archiving, define whether owners may archive their workspaces in the Seamless App:

   • Yes: always
   • No: never
   • Conditional: only if a condition is met, e.g. state == 'closed'

3. Save the template.

Note

Admins can always archive in the Admin Center, regardless of this setting.

Read-only details

Control which details owners can see but not change in the Seamless App.

Example

In certain scenarios, workspace information is controlled via the Seamless API, e.g. organisation and template, primary contact or status. With read-only details, you prevent owners from changing them in the app. The same applies to relationships, i.e. links to other workspaces.

1. Open Groups → Templates → organisation → template → App.
2. Under Read-only information, select which details are visible but not editable in the Seamless App, e.g. organisation and template, status, primary contact and deputy, or relationships.
3. Save the template.

Note

Admins can change all details in the Admin Center, regardless of read-only details.

Microsoft Teams

Under Microsoft Teams, you define what members and guests may do in the team, e.g. create channels, add apps or delete messages. This way, the same rules apply in all teams of a template without owners having to set them individually. Owners can change these settings in the team later. The options correspond to the member, guest and messaging settings of Microsoft Teams. More information: Microsoft Learn: teamMemberSettings

Typical uses:

• Full control for owners: Disable all options. Only owners manage channels, tabs, apps and messages.
• Restrict guests: Guests collaborate but do not create or delete channels.
• Protect the structure: Members do not change channels, tabs or apps, e.g. in teams with a fixed structure.
• Keep messages traceable: Messages cannot be edited or deleted afterwards.
