Microsoft Teams App Doesn't Load

AB Projects tab not loading in Microsoft Teams? Work through reloading, updating/restarting the Teams client, Microsoft SSO and admin consent, clearing Teams cache, unblocking blz.actionbridge.io on the network, and checking app install/consent.

Who Can See What?

Visibility in AB Projects is membership-based: every project member sees all of the project's tasks, comments, subtasks, and history. Roles (Owner/Admin/Member) control management, not visibility — there is no private-task or read-only tier. Confidentiality is done via separate channels.

Editing Your Profile and Icon

Edit your AB Projects profile from the Settings tab: display name, profile icon, language, timezone, and email signature. Your name and icon are seeded from Microsoft 365 and appear in tasks, comments, mentions, and Teams Adaptive Cards.

Role-Based Access Control

Learn how roles work in AB Projects. Every member is an Owner, Admin, or Member; new members join as Member by default. Admin and Owner control members, the Teams link, and workflow configuration, all scoped per project.

Adding or Removing Members

Understanding Projects and Teams

How projects and Microsoft Teams fit together in AB Projects: a project is a scoped workspace linked to one Teams channel, its members auto-synced from that channel, with Owner/Admin/Member roles. Users belong to many projects and switch via the Projects tab.

Setting Due Dates and Priorities

Inviting Team Members via Microsoft Teams
