Becoming a Project Member in AB Projects
In AB Projects, project membership follows the connected Microsoft Teams channel. You're added automatically when the roster syncs — you don't have to visit the tab first to be a member, be assigned, or be mentioned.
Teams Channel and Project Linking in AB Projects
Learn how AB Projects links each Microsoft Teams channel one-to-one with a project, and how membership follows the channel automatically — opening the tab syncs the whole roster, so members don't each need to visit to be added, assigned, or mentioned.
AI Support Features in AB Projects
What AI does in AB Projects today: an AI greeting on the dashboard, an AI summary and suggested subtasks on tasks, a Teams bot with commands plus conversational AI (1-on-1 and channel @mention), and MCP assistants — all with clear AI disclosure.
Why AB Projects Requires Microsoft Graph Permissions
The Microsoft Graph API permissions AB Projects uses and why — covering Teams channel linking and roster sync, posting task activity and syncing thread replies, Outlook calendar scheduling, and Microsoft SSO. The Entra app registration / consent screen is the authoritative list.
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.
I Can't See My Tasks
Tasks not showing in AB Projects? Work through project selection, the filter panel (completed/omitted hidden by default and remembered), the List/Gantt/Kanban views (Gantt needs dates), Teams-channel membership sync, and reloading.
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.
Confidentiality and Enterprise Agreements
How confidentiality works in AB Projects: access is scoped by Teams channel membership and Microsoft identity, with a full audit trail. There is no per-task privacy flag, NDA workflow, watermarking, or access expiration; NDAs and private terms are handled via Enterprise agreements.
Data Retention and Export
How AB Projects retains data on Microsoft Azure: deletes are soft-deletes (no auto-purge, no self-serve restore window), change history and comments are preserved, and there is no built-in export yet — data export and recovery are handled as manual support requests.
SSO and Microsoft Login
AB Projects uses Microsoft SSO (Microsoft Entra ID) for password-free sign-in with your Microsoft 365 account. No separate password and no per-user license to assign; project access follows your Teams-channel membership.
Managing Subscriptions & Billing
How AB Projects pricing works: a free tier (up to 10 users), Team ($5) and Business ($10) per active user per month, and custom Enterprise. Access is via Microsoft SSO and Teams-channel membership — there is no Microsoft 365 license to assign. See actionbridge.io/pricing for current details.
Notification Preferences
What you can configure for AB Projects notifications: your personal task digest's delivery method (email/Teams) and schedule, in Settings → Task Reminders. Real-time Teams channel activity is automatic; per-event toggles, task following, per-task due reminders, and an in-app inbox don't exist yet.
Integration with Microsoft Teams and Adaptive Cards
How AB Projects integrates with Microsoft Teams: one-to-one channel tab, Adaptive Cards posted for every comment and task change with a two-way thread, the chip-picker mention model that fires Teams @mentions, and Microsoft SSO with channel-driven membership (no license gate).
Built-in Automation
AB Projects automates the routine work out of the box — status-driven progress, subtask roll-up, automatic Teams updates, channel-driven membership sync, and the scheduled digest. There is no custom if-this-then-that rule builder; this article explains what runs automatically.
Daily Digest and AI Assistance
How AB Projects helps daily: a per-user digest of your top open tasks (email/Teams, in Settings → Task Reminders), an AI summary on each task, AI-suggested subtasks you confirm before creating, and MCP AI assistants with clear AI disclosure.
Installing the AB Projects Teams App
Learn how to install the AB Projects app in Microsoft Teams as a personal app or a channel tab. Includes the channel setup flow (create or link a project, project types), the included bot, and Microsoft SSO sign-in.
Managing Project Settings
Learn how to manage AB Projects project settings: name, description, icon, perma name, estimate unit, task workflow (statuses, types, environments), GitHub integration, the Microsoft Teams link, and ownership, leaving, and deletion.
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
Learn how members are added to and removed from an AB Projects project. Membership follows the connected Microsoft Teams channel: people auto-join when they open the tab, Owners/Admins can invite from the channel roster, and roles are Owner, Admin, and Member.
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.
Task Comments and Mentions
How task comments and @mentions work in AB Projects: a rich-text comment editor with image upload, mentioning specific project members, and automatic two-way sync with the linked Microsoft Teams channel thread. AI assistants can comment too.
Inviting Team Members via Microsoft Teams
AB Projects onboards your whole team through Microsoft Teams automatically: once the AB Projects tab is connected to a channel, every channel member is added to the project and kept in sync — no one-by-one email invites. Admins can also manually invite specific channel members.
Creating Your First Task
Create your first task in AB Projects — from the Tasks tab in Microsoft Teams, or let an AI agent create it for you. Learn how to add details, assign it to a project member, and discuss it with comments and @mentions.
