System Requirements

SharePoint Online

  1. A team site or communication site

  2. Access to a site app catalog or the global app catalog. Remark: We recommend using a site app catalog for the deployment. To create a site app catalog, do the following

    1. If not done already, register the PnP PowerShell extensions
      https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/powershell/sharepoint/sharepoint-pnp/sharepoint-pnp-cmdlets

    2. As a SharePoint Administrator, do the following
      Connect-PnPOnline -Url <pathToTheSearchCenterSite>

    3. Add-PnPSiteCollectionAppCatalog -Site <pathToTheSearchCenterSite>
      Remark: Also Site Administrators can create a site app catalog, but this is not sufficient to make WebParts work from there!

  3. Editor permissions to create the search center page(s) and configure the WebParts

Microsoft Teams (Optional)

  1. Permission to create a Viva Connections App

  2. Teams administrator permissions to deploy the app within Teams
