This screen shot shows the main “Manage Apps” interface within the Teams admin center. This pane controls organization-wide settings for Teams apps and can also be used to add an app to a team. All apps that are potentially available are listed, with a customizable selection of columns that display information about the app. Columns available include Name, Certification, Publisher, Publishing Status, Status, Licenses, Custom app, Permissions, Categories, and Version.

The list also contains any custom apps that have been submitted by developers within the organization for inclusion in the organization’s Teams app store. Apps can be sorted by column or searched for by name. Once an app is selected from the list, an administrator can view more details about the app, allow or block the app for the entire organization, or add it to a specific team (for apps that provide functionality within a team context). While not visible in this screen shot, this pane is also where administrators can set organization-wide settings to allow or block all third-party or custom apps.
