Secure Microsoft Teams for AI

Microsoft Graph's Channel.ReadBasic and Chat.Read permissions hand AI access to every team, every channel, and every 1:1 chat across your tenant. PortEden sits between your AI agent and Graph, enforcing team and channel-level rules and redacting sensitive content before it reaches the model.

How PortEden Protects You

Six layers of security between AI and your data.

Team and Channel Allowlists

Permit AI in specific teams (Engineering, Product) and block sensitive ones (Leadership, HR, Finance). Rules apply to message history, channel searches, and live lookups.

Private Chat Blocking

Hide every 1:1 chat and group chat from AI by default. Whitelist specific threads if you opt in. AI never sees private conversations or HR escalations.

Content Redaction

Mask credentials, customer PII, payment data, and access tokens pasted into Teams channels before AI reads them — including content in attached cards and adaptive messages.

Action Limits

Restrict whether AI can post messages, react, or create channels. Read-only mode is the default; write actions require explicit per-channel grants.

Time Windows

Limit AI to recent messages only — e.g. last 24 hours or last 7 days — so old project chatter and stale escalations stay out of context.

Full Audit Trail

Every channel read, search, and blocked request is logged with the agent identity, timestamp, and rule that fired. Trace any incident back to the exact request.

Get Started in 3 Steps

1

Install — CLI or MCP

Install the PortEden CLI or add the cloud MCP connector to your AI client, then authorize PortEden in your Microsoft 365 tenant.

2

Set Team and Channel Rules

Allowlist teams and channels for AI access, block 1:1 and group chats, and enable content redaction patterns.

3

Connect Your Agent

Point your AI agent at PortEden instead of Microsoft Graph. Every read, search, and post is filtered, redacted, and logged.

Without vs. With PortEden

Without PortEden

  • Channel.ReadBasic and Chat.Read grant access to every team, channel, and chat
  • 1:1 chats and group chats with HR, legal, and exec conversations fully exposed
  • Pasted credentials, API keys, and PII flow straight into the AI model
  • No granular audit of which teams or messages AI accessed
  • Revoking AI requires removing the Graph app from your tenant

With PortEden

  • Team and channel allowlist limits AI to the surfaces you explicitly permit
  • 1:1 and group chats blocked by default; opt-in per conversation
  • Credential and PII redaction strips sensitive content before AI sees it
  • Read-only mode prevents AI from posting, reacting, or creating channels
  • Full per-agent audit log of every read, search, and blocked request

Frequently Asked Questions

Can AI read every Teams channel by default?
Yes. A Graph API token with Channel.ReadBasic and ChannelMessage.Read.All grants AI access to every team and channel the connecting account is a member of. PortEden enforces an allowlist on top so AI only sees the teams you explicitly permit.
Are 1:1 chats and group chats exposed to AI?
Without PortEden, yes — Chat.Read grants access to every chat thread. PortEden blocks all 1:1 and group chats by default. You can opt specific threads into AI access, but the default is closed.
Can AI post in Teams channels through PortEden?
Only if you allow it. Read-only mode is the default. You can grant write access per channel — e.g. allow AI to post status updates in #releases but block writes everywhere else.
Does PortEden work with Microsoft 365 GCC or sovereign clouds?
PortEden's Graph integration supports commercial Microsoft 365 and Microsoft 365 GCC. Sovereign cloud (GCC High, DoD) support is on the roadmap — contact us if you need it sooner.
