# Set Up Salesforce IT Desk (Microsoft Teams)
Complete the **"Set Up Salesforce IT Desk"** checklist group on the Teams ITSM Go page
(`service-cloud-itsm-teams-integration`'s feature page) — the fulfiller/agent side of Teams
ITSM integration, for IT agents to swarm on and resolve tickets from Teams. Every operation
dispatches through **headless-360**.
## Scope
- **In scope**: Turning on the `OrgHasITSMFulfillerTeams` preference; giving the user the exact
Teams marketplace link + help doc for the IT Desk app install; assigning
`TeamsForITSrvcsUser`/`MicrosoftGraphAccess` permission sets to confirmed users **plus
provisioning the org-wide API-Enabled login permission set** (created once, required to sign in);
delegating "Set Teams as Collaboration Tool for Swarming" to `service-itsm-swarming-configure`.
- **Out of scope**: The base Teams Salesforce Go page toggle (`ITSMTeamsEnabled`), Azure/Entra app
registration, Named Credential population, and Teams extension/preferred-site registration —
use `service-itsm-teams-configure` (a prerequisite for this skill). The IT Service/employee
half of the checklist — use `service-itsm-teams-itservice-configure`. Enabling the
`service-cloud-swarming` Go feature itself — delegate to `service-itsm-swarming-configure`.
**Prerequisite:** run `service-itsm-teams-configure` first (or alongside) — this skill assumes
the `service-cloud-itsm-teams-integration` Go feature is already enabled.
> **Execute one step at a time.** These steps make real, state-changing API calls. Run a single
> operation, show its result, confirm it succeeded, then proceed — do not batch multiple setup
> calls into one parallel block.
---
## Workflow
### Step 1 — Turn on Salesforce IT Desk
This is a straight org-preference toggle (unlike `ITSMTeamsEnabled`, this one supports direct
`PATCH`) — enable it yourself via API, do not ask the user to click the Setup toggle:
```text
mcp__headless-360__dispatch(
method: "PATCH",
url: "/services/data/v67.0/setup/org/preferences/OrgHasITSMFulfillerTeams",
body: { "desiredState": true }
)
```
Expect `200 {"isPreferenceEnabled": true}`. Tell the user it's enabled — do not ask them to flip
the toggle themselves.
### Step 2 — Install Salesforce IT Desk App on Teams (user's responsibility)
There is no Salesforce or Microsoft API this skill can call to install a Teams app into a
tenant's app catalog — this always requires a human clicking "Add" in the Microsoft Teams admin
center / AppSource, signed in with sufficient tenant permissions. Give the user the exact
marketplace link and help doc; do not attempt to automate this step.
- Marketplace (verified live from the Go page's "Go to Microsoft Marketplace" button):
```text
https://marketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/product/teams-app/WA200009869?tab=Overview
```
- Help doc: `https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.it_srvce_msteams_cnfig_fulfilerhub_app.htm&type=5`
Print both together so the user has a self-service reference alongside the install link. Also tell
the user that **the Azure/Microsoft account email the fulfiller signs into Teams with must match
that Salesforce user's email / `Username`** — SSO resolves the Microsoft UPN to the Salesforce
`Username`, so a mismatch causes a silent login failure.
**Then HALT and wait** for the user to confirm the app is installed (they reply **"installed"**).
This is a human-only action; do not proceed to Step 3's user-access assignment as if it were done,
and do not fabricate the confirmation — wait for the real reply.
### Step 3 — Manage User Access
"Manage User Access" ("Manage" button on the Go page) assigns two permission sets — verified
live from the "Manage Microsoft Teams for Employee Service User Access" dialog:
- `TeamsForITSrvcsUser` (label **"Microsoft Teams for IT Services"**, backed by PSL
`TeamsForITSrvcsPsl`)
- `MicrosoftGraphAccess` (label **"MicrosoftGraphAccess"**) — assigned alongside it in the same
dialog.
**A third, "login" permission set is also required — one you provision once per org.** The two
dialog permsets provision the IT Desk *surface* but **do not let the fulfiller sign in**: both read
`PermissionsApiEnabled = false`, so the embedded app's Connect calls 403 and login fails with
"server not reachable." The fulfiller needs a permission set carrying the **API Enabled** system
permission. Some orgs already have one named `Teams_Employee_ApiAccess` (a **custom** permset — do
**not** assume a fresh customer org has it); otherwise create it. It is a **shared, org-wide
artifact** — the same permset also covers IT Service login, so **create it only once** and just
*assign* it wherever needed. The resolve-or-create-then-assign recipe is in
[Login prerequisite](#login-prerequisite--provision-the-login-permission-set-verified) below. Do
this as part of this step; don't wait for login to break.
**Do not just assign every active user.** Ask the user which specific user(s) should get access.
If they want to see the list of users first (rather than naming them), page it — **show at most
10 users per page**, then ask "want to see more?" before showing the next page, since orgs can
have hundreds or thousands of users:
```text
mcp__headless-360__dispatch_readonly(
method: "GET",
url: "/services/data/v67.0/query",
queryParams: { "q": "SELECT Id, Name, Username, Email FROM User WHERE IsActive = true ORDER BY Name LIMIT 10 OFFSET <page * 10>" }
)
```
**Verified gotcha:** in scratch/test orgs (and possibly some real orgs), the first page(s) of
this query are often dominated by non-employee system/integration accounts — e.g. `Automated
Process`, `Bot User`, `Insights Integration`, `*.ext` integration users, `ESW_*` / `*Site Guest
User` guest users, and `DigitalAgent.*` agent users. When presenting a page to the user, flag
these as likely-not-employee accounts (don't silently filter them out of the list — the user may
still want one assigned — but call out which rows look like system accounts so the user doesn't
have to guess). If the user says a listed batch is "not employee users, skip," move on to the
next page rather than assigning any of them.
Once the user confirms specific user(s), look up the two dialog permission sets' `Id`s (they are
stable per org but don't hardcode them — query fresh; the third "login" permset is resolved in the
Login prerequisite below):
```text
mcp__headless-360__dispatch_readonly(
method: "GET",
url: "/services/data/v67.0/query",
queryParams: { "q": "SELECT Id, Name FROM PermissionSet WHERE Name IN ('TeamsForITSrvcsUser','MicrosoftGraphAccess')" }
)
```
Then assign both permission sets to each confirmed user via `PermissionSetAssignment` (one record
per user/permset pair — batch with as many calls as needed, there is no bulk-assign endpoint
exposed here):
```text
mcp__headless-360__dispatch(
method: "POST",
url: "/services/data/v67.0/sobjects/PermissionSetAssignment",
body: { "AssigneeId": "<user id>", "PermissionSetId": "<permission set id>" }
)
```
Verify by re-querying `PermissionSetAssignment` for that `AssigneeId`, or simply trust the `201`
from the assignment call plus a `SELECT ... FROM PermissionSetAssignment WHERE AssigneeId =
'<user id>' AND PermissionSetId = '<permset id>'` readback.
#### Login prerequisite — provision the login permission set (verified)
With only `TeamsForITSrvcsUser` + `MicrosoftGraphAccess` the IT Desk *surface* is provisioned, but a
fulfiller who opens the IT Desk app in Teams hits **"server not reachable"** on the login page. The
verified blocker is **API Enabled**: both dialog permsets read `PermissionsApiEnabled = false`
(verified live), so the embedded app's Connect calls 403. Assigning the fulfiller a permission set
with `PermissionsApiEnabled = true` resolves the login. That permset is **org-wide, created once**
and shared with IT Service — resolve-or-create, then assign:
1. **Reuse if it already exists** (an API-Enabled permset — commonly `Teams_Employee_ApiAccess`):
`SELECT Id, Name, PermissionsApiEnabled FROM PermissionSet WHERE Name = 'Teams_Employee_ApiAccess'`.
If found with `PermissionsApiEnabled = true`, take its `Id` and skip to step 3.
2. **Otherwise create it once** (`PermissionsApiEnabled` is createable — verified):
```text
mcp__headless-360__dispatch(
method: "POST",
url: "/services/data/v67.0/sobjects/PermissionSet",
body: { "Name": "Teams_Employee_ApiAccess", "Label": "Teams Employee API Access", "PermissionsApiEnabled": true }
)
```
Capture the returned `Id`. Because it's shared org-wide, don't recreate it if a later run (or the
IT Service skill) already made it — step 1's query is the guard.
3. **Assign it** to each confirmed fulfiller, alongside the two dialog permsets:
```text
mcp__headless-360__dispatch(
method: "POST",
url: "/services/data/v67.0/sobjects/PermissionSetAssignment",
body: { "AssigneeId": "<user id>", "PermissionSetId": "<login permset Id>" }
)
```
After assigning, have the user **fully close and reopen the Teams app** (the OAuth authorize is
cached client-side). Also confirm **CORS Allowed Origins** contains both `https://teams.cloud.microsoft`
and `https://cdn.scs.static.lightning.force.com` (`SELECT UrlPattern FROM CorsWhitelistEntry`).
The `ServiceCloudMSTeamsEca` External Client App that backs Teams login is **auto-installed by the
Go-page toggle and needs no configuration** — `Teams_Employee_ApiAccess` grants API Enabled and is
unrelated to the ECA. Do not add `SetupEntityAccess` rows or change the ECA's OAuth policy.
If login still fails in a fresh session after the API-Enabled permset is assigned, the remaining
suspect is the **"Allow OAuth for employees"** profile checkbox (Setup-UI-only — no API write path).
See `service-itsm-teams-itservice-configure`'s *Login prerequisites* for the full pass/fail
diagnostic chain.
### Step 4 — Set Teams as Collaboration Tool for Swarming (delegate)
This 4th checklist item requires the `service-cloud-swarming` Go feature to be enabled first.
**Do not enable that feature inline here — invoke the dedicated
`service-itsm-swarming-configure` skill** instead of duplicating feature-enablement logic:
```text
Invoke the service-itsm-swarming-configure skill.
```
That skill enables `service-cloud-swarming` **and** writes `SWARM_COLLABORATION_TOOL` to `"Teams"`
via `PATCH /services/data/v67.0/setup/org/values/SWARM_COLLABORATION_TOOL` — this checklist item
is now fully automated end-to-end, no manual "Go to Feature Page" click required.

## Gotchas
| Issue | Detail |
|-------|--------|
| Requires the Teams Salesforce Go page feature first | `OrgHasITSMFulfillerTeams` does not gate or depend on `ITSMTeamsEnabled` directly, but the Go page checklist only appears once `service-cloud-itsm-teams-integration` is enabled — run `service-itsm-teams-configure` first. |
| `OrgHasITSMFulfillerTeams` does not unblock `ITSMTeamsEnabled` | These are separate bits — enabling this preference does not itself unblock the Teams Salesforce Go page toggle preference, and vice versa. |
| "Set Teams as Collaboration Tool for Swarming" needs `service-cloud-swarming` enabled first | Delegate to `service-itsm-swarming-configure` rather than enabling that feature inline. That skill both enables the feature and writes `SWARM_COLLABORATION_TOOL` to `"Teams"` — the whole checklist item is API-reachable, not just the base feature enable. |
| Permission sets / PSLs | `TeamsForITSrvcsUser`, `MicrosoftGraphAccess` (permission sets) and PSL `TeamsForITSrvcsPsl` auto-provisioned and were confirmed `Active` (10 licenses) immediately after the feature-enable in this session — no manual PSL/permset creation needed once `TeamsITSrvcsAddOn`+`IncidentManagementAddOn` are licensed. |
| Manage-User-Access permsets don't cover login — assign an API-Enabled permset | Verified: after assigning `TeamsForITSrvcsUser` + `MicrosoftGraphAccess`, the IT Desk agent still failed Teams login with **"server not reachable"** — both dialog permsets have `PermissionsApiEnabled = false`, so the embedded app's Connect calls 403. The fix is an **API-Enabled** permission set (`PermissionsApiEnabled = true`), commonly `Teams_Employee_ApiAccess` — a **custom, org-wide** permset shared with IT Service, so **create it once** then assign. A test org may already have it; **a fresh customer org won't**, so resolve-or-create. (The `ServiceCloudMSTeamsEca` ECA is auto-installed by the Go-page toggle and needs no configuration — it does not gate login and `Teams_Employee_ApiAccess` is unrelated to it.) See [Step 3 → Login prerequisite](#login-prerequisite--provision-the-login-permission-set-verified). |
| Version prefix required | headless-360 `dispatch`/`dispatch_readonly` do not resolve API versions — always pass the full `/services/data/vXX.0/...` prefix. |
