Zohawtof I'm concerned with governance and distribution of the app itself, since it's not available for configuration in Teams App Permission Policies.

As we all know there's no setting to prevent MSFT apps from being enabled by default, therefore we can only control through whitelists in Permission Policies. As this app - for some strange reason - does not comply with the norms followed by all the other ones, suddenly I have a non assessed app available to +50k users.

 

Let me be clear, I know that I can disable the app in "Manage Apps". My point is that this it not the way to release an app and existing settings must be respected. Will this be addressed?

 

EDIT: Just to add that I opened a case and it was confirmed that this app should follow teams permission policies. The situation has been rectified now and works as expected.
