Connection

Your Microsoft 365 administrator should authorise the Nektar app for your organization. The administrator may also follow the steps below to restrict Nektar to specific users.

Provide the email address of your Microsoft 365 administrator to start the authorization process.

Restrict Nektar to specific users

You must have admin privileges to your Microsoft 365 organization to do this.

  1. Create a “Mail-enabled security” group in Microsoft Admin Centre. Note the group’s email address.

  2. Add the users you want Nektar to access as the members of that group. Ensure that the admin is different from all the members.
  3. On your Windows PC, launch PowerShell.

  4. Login to ExchangeOnline with your admin credentials.

    Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName <your-email-address>

  5. Add an access policy restricting the Nektar app to the group you created.

    New-ApplicationAccessPolicy -AppId 5ec97ac5-1665-4dff-8357-43d284a0b3a5 -PolicyScopeGroupId <group-email-address> -AccessRight RestrictAccess -Description "Nektar access policy"

  4. Add an access policy to grant Nektar access to Teams.

    New-CsApplicationAccessPolicy -Identity Policy-To-Access-Meetings-Application-Access -AppIds "5ec97ac5-1665-4dff-8357-43d284a0b3a5" -Description "Access meeting on behalf of user"

Sync

Nektar’s Microsoft 365 sync system reads email messages and calendar events every 10–15 minutes, and the list of users on your workspace every 24 hours. You must enable sync for individual MS365 users in the Users section.

The sync table displays:

  • the time the most recent message or event was synced
  • a sync health icon that can be clicked for more information
  • toggles to enable or disable sync globally

Sync health icons may indicate the following states:

Disabled Disabled Can be enabled on the same screen
Not started Not started Disabled globally, or pending approval
In progress In progress Actively syncing; some data is remaining
Completed Completed Everything synced; watching for new data
Delayed Delayed Sync has not run in the last 30 minutes
Stalled Stalled Stopped due to error or hasn’t run in 2 hours
