Hi SadPython - Thanks for raising the query. To integrate user info like emails and calendars in an external Teams tab, setting up Microsoft Entra for SSO isn't mandatory. Instead, use Microsoft Graph API to access the data. Steps include:

For detailed steps and guidelines, please refer to the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/overview and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/permissions-reference documentation.
