Step 2 - Configure the Outlook add-in in Humly Control Panel
This article will cover requirements for Single Sign-on (SSO) with group access, and how to configure the Outlook add-in before deployment.
Group Access in Global Settings
To be able to use the Outlook add-in, the logged in user in Outlook also needs to exist as a member in a group in Microsoft 365. That group's name needs to be added to M365 user groups under Global Settings in Humly Control Panel, for Single Sign-on (SSO) to work with the Outlook add-in.
-
In Humly Control Panel, go to Settings → Global Settings.
-
Find M365 user groups, and add the name of the group that will be able to use the Outlook add-in, e.g under M365 user group for Users.

-
Click Save in Global Settings.
Create an Outlook Add-in Extension
-
Log in to your Humly Control Panel as a Global Admin user.
-
Go to Extensions.
-
For the type of extension select Humly Event (Outlook) and click Create Extension.

- In the Humly Event (Outlook) modal configure your add-in by giving it a name, description, display name and uploading an icon and a logo.
-
Name (required) - Give the add-in a name which will be visible only in Humly Control Panel under Humly Extensions.
-
Description* - This description will be shown both in Humly Control Panel, Microsoft Admin Center and for all details when users view details of the add-in in Outlook.
-
Add-in icon - This icon must be of ratio 1:1, PNG format and not smaller than 128 by 128 pixels, as per Microsoft recommendations.
-
Add-in header logo - The image is limited to be of max 1 MB (=1048576 bytes) and PNG.
-
Display name* - This is the name that will be shown in Outlook for all users.
* = Changing Description or Display name will require the add-in manifest to be downloaded and uploaded again to Microsoft 365 Admin Center (for centralized deployment upgrade) or local (for local deployment).

-
-
Click Save.

You will get a saving popup asking if you only want to save or save and download the new manifest.

Click Edit on the dotted menu for the extension you want to delete.

Delete an Outlook Add-in Extension
Deleting an Outlook add-in under Extensions is permanent. Once deleted the add-in will no longer function in Outlook, and it is also advised to remove it from the Microsoft 365 Admin Center to avoid confusions among users.
