MS-700 Configure and Manage a Teams Environment Practice Question
A department manager requests that a specific third-party project management app be automatically pinned to the sidebar of the Teams client for all members of their team. Which policy should the Teams administrator modify?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is confusing App Permission policies (which control access to apps) with App Setup policies (which control installation and pinning); candidates must remember that pinning is exclusively a setup policy function.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
App Setup policy
Teams App Setup policies control which apps are installed for users and which apps are pinned to the app bar (sidebar) in the Teams client. Modifying the App Setup policy allows the administrator to pin the third-party project management app for all members of the team.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
App Permission policy
Why it's wrong here
App Permission policies are used to control which specific apps are available to users in the organization based on the app developer. While these policies dictate if a user can see or install an app, they do not manage the layout or pinning of apps on the Teams client sidebar.
- ✗
Messaging policy
Why it's wrong here
Messaging policies govern the features available within individual and group chats, such as message editing, emoji usage, and read receipts. They do not contain any settings related to the installation or visual arrangement of applications within the Teams client navigation bar or the overall application ecosystem.
- ✗
Meeting policy
Why it's wrong here
Meeting policies manage the features and security settings for Teams meetings, such as recording capabilities, screen sharing permissions, and the meeting lobby. These policies are entirely unrelated to the management of apps or the pinning of shortcuts on the main Teams application sidebar for end-users.
- ✓
App Setup policy
Why this is correct
App Setup policies give administrators the power to pin apps to the navigation bar and install them on behalf of users. By creating a custom setup policy and assigning it to the department members, the administrator can ensure the project management app is prominently displayed for everyone in that group.
