Enterprise Mode in BeZoned

Enterprise Mode allows organizations to use BeZoned with restricted Microsoft Teams permissions. It's designed for companies with stricter IT security policies, where administrators need greater control over application access and team management.

In this guide, we'll show you how to enable Enterprise Mode, configure permissions and prepare your account to create your first office.

1. Install BeZoned

Because of how Microsoft Entra consent works, BeZoned must first be installed normally. Only then can our Support Team switch your account to Enterprise Mode.

  1. Install BeZoned using the standard installation process.

  2. Accept all requested Microsoft Teams permissions during installation.

Warning: Until you get confirmation from BeZoned Support team, do not create any offices and do not use BeZoned.

2. Enable Enterprise Mode

Once the installation process completes and you end up in the Lobby, do not create any offices. In Enterprise mode, offices must be first created in Microsoft Teams and then integrated with BeZoned.

  1. Contact BeZoned support and let us know that your organization wants to use Enterprise Mode.

  2. We'll coordinate the setup with you and register your organization as an enterprise company in our system.

3. Restrict Permissions

Once the account is switched to Enterprise Mode, it changes how BeZoned accesses your data. Instead of broader permissions, BeZoned uses RSC, which only applies to the teams where BeZoned is installed. This means some of the permissions BeZoned normally requires can be removed.

How to remove permissions

  1. Open the Microsoft Entra admin center.

  2. Go to Entra ID > Enterprise apps > All applications.

  3. Select BeZoned.

  4. Go to Permissions and open the Admin consent tab.

  5. Find each of the following permissions, select More options (...), and click Revoke permission. Use the Type column to tell Application and Delegated permissions apart, because some names appear twice.

Note: Permission changes should be performed by an authorized Microsoft 365 administrator according to your organization's security policies.

Application permissions to remove:

  • Team.Create

  • Group.ReadWrite.All

  • TeamMember.ReadWrite.All

  • TeamsAppInstallation.ReadWriteAndConsentSelfForTeam.All

  • TeamsTab.Read.All

  • ChannelSettings.ReadWrite.All

  • Channel.ReadBasic.All

  • Channel.Create

  • Channel.Delete.All

  • TeamSettings.ReadWrite.All

  • Presence.ReadWrite.All

  • Chat.Create (Application only, keep the Delegated one)

Delegated permissions to remove:

  • TeamSettings.ReadWrite.All

  • TeamMember.ReadWriteNonOwnerRole.All

Important: Do not remove the Delegated Chat.Create permission. BeZoned needs it to send messages to colleagues from the office.

4. Finalize setup

At this point, just wait for a confirmation from BeZoned Support team that your account was successfully switched to Enterprise Mode. Then you can follow up by setting up your first office.

Create new office (Enterprise Mode)

In Enterprise Mode, each BeZoned office is connected to a team created directly in Microsoft Teams.

1. Create Team in Microsoft Teams

  1. Open Microsoft Teams.

  2. Create a new team that will serve as the main hub for your BeZoned office.

  3. Give the team an appropriate name, such as your company name, department, or office location.

The newly created team will be used to configure your BeZoned office.

2. Install BeZoned in the Team

Next, install BeZoned in the Microsoft Teams team you just created.

You can do this in either of two ways:

  • Using the Microsoft Teams admin center: Install BeZoned in the newly created team.

  • Using Microsoft Teams: Open a channel in the team and add BeZoned as a tab app.

This connects the BeZoned application to the team that will host your office.

3. Find Your Microsoft Teams Team ID

Each Microsoft Teams team has a unique identifier (GUID), called Team ID. You'll need this ID to connect the team to BeZoned.

  1. Open the Microsoft Teams admin center.

  2. Go to Teams > Manage teams.

  3. Find your newly created team.

  4. Copy its GroupID, which is the Team ID used by BeZoned.

If the GroupID column is not visible, use Edit columns to display it.

4. Create Your Enterprise Office in BeZoned

Once you have the Team ID, you can create your office in BeZoned.

  1. Open the BeZoned Lobby.

  2. Follow the appropriate process below.

If this is your first office

If your organization does not have any existing offices, BeZoned automatically prompts you to enter a Team ID.

  1. Enter the Team ID from Microsoft Teams.

  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the office setup.

If your organization already has offices

  1. Open the Lobby settings menu in the upper-right corner.

  2. Click Create new team.

  3. Enter the Team ID of the Microsoft Teams team you created.

  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.

Your enterprise office is now configured in BeZoned.

Create Additional Offices

You can create multiple offices in BeZoned.

For each additional office, repeat steps 1–4:

  1. Create a new team in Microsoft Teams.

  2. Install BeZoned in that team.

  3. Copy the new Team ID.

  4. Go to the BeZoned Lobby and select Create new team to connect it.

Each office is connected to its own Microsoft Teams team.

Manage Office members

Enterprise clients have to manage office members through Microsoft Teams. To change members of an office, just find Manage Team in Microsoft Teams, and use the Members page to add and delete members.
