Channels greyed out when changing authentication from Teams only to Manual

‎08-23-2022 01:55 AM

Hi, I want to open up other channels, so have set up Manual authentication - assuming this would allow the other channels to be used.

 

But.. they're all still greyed out, and I was wondering in anyone may have any ideas as to why?

 

Could it have anything to do with this bot starting life as a PVA for Teams bot, and being upgraded?

 

Cheers

Having originally created the bot under PVA for Teams should not cause the channels to be disabled.
There is one other setting that can cause the channels to be disabled.


Verify that:

  • Authentication is not set to "Only for Teams"
  • "Require secured access" under Web channel security is disabled (or the channels have been configured to use a secret or token)

If the above two settings do not enable the channels, try publishing the bot.

If the settings changes and publishing did not enable the channels, we will need some additional information to allow the dev team to further investigate the issue.

Thanks @mboninco - I had changed the security to Manual from Teams only, but I hadn't changed that other setting... will give it go, thank you!

In PVA for Teams, the channels other than Teams are disabled. If you are accessing the PVA app from within Teams, you need to switch to the full web version Power Virtual Agents.

Hi, I am using full PVA. 

 

Originally it was PVA for teams, but the bot and environment were upgraded.

 

Now, when switching the authentication from Teams only to Manual, everything remains greyed out - and I'm wondering if this could maybe have something to do with the environment originally being one for PVA for Teams.

September featured user group leader

    Ayonija Shatakshi, a seasoned senior consultant at Improving, Ohio, is a passionate advocate for M365, SharePoint, Power Platform, and Azure, recognizing how they synergize to deliver top-notch solutions. Recently, we asked Ayonija to share her journey as a user group leader, shedding light on her motivations and the benefits she's reaped from her community involvement.      Ayonija embarked on her role as a user group leader in December 2022, driven by a desire to explore how the community leveraged various Power Platform components. When she couldn't find a suitable local group, she decided to create one herself!    Speaking about the impact of the community on her professional and personal growth, Ayonija says, "It's fascinating to witness how everyone navigates the world of Power Platform, dealing with license constraints and keeping up with new features. There's so much to learn from their experiences.        Her favorite aspect of being a user group leader is the opportunity to network and engage in face-to-face discussions with fellow enthusiasts, fostering deeper connections within the community. Offering advice to budding user group leaders, Ayonija emphasized the importance of communication and consistency, two pillars that sustain any successful community initiative.      When asked why she encourages others to become user group leaders, Ayonija said, "Being part of a user group is one of the best ways to connect with experienced professionals in the same field and glean knowledge from them. If there isn't a local group, consider starting one; you'll soon find like-minded individuals."      Her highlight from the past year as a user group leader was witnessing consistent growth within the group, a testament to the thriving community she has nurtured. Advocating for user group participation, Ayonija stated, "It's the fastest route to learning from the community, gaining insights, and staying updated on industry trends."   Check out her group: Cleveland Power Platform User Group
