Helper IInstall App Automatically Disabled
After consulting Microsoft Support, I have found why it is not working.
Here is the solution:
Tenant Settings:
"Push App to End Users" needs to be enabled and set to Entire Organisation.
Update App:
Under "Permissions" tab, the "Access" needs to be set to Specific Individuals, Install App Automatically is only supported when you select Specific Individuals or Groups.
The "Install App Automatically" checkbox will then be enabled.
Most Valuable ProfessionalHi Jenni-Sky,
you are close to solving the problem, but there are actually 2 tenant settings under Content pack and app settings.
There's Push apps to end users, which lets you enable this check mark:
End there's Publish content packs and apps to the entire organization, which enables the option you are looking for:
Helper IHi nickyvv thank you for responding!
I previously had "Publish content packs and apps to the entire organization" set to Enabled with Radio button ticked for entire organisation. I have tried changing it to Specific individuals or group and set it to use the same group as "Push apps to end users", and have given some time to allow the change to kick in, but "Install apps automatically" is still showing as disabled.
I have changed "Publish content packs and apps to the entire organization" back to Entire Organisation, as I could see that changing it to Specific Individuals prevented me from publishing the app to the entire organisation in the Update App settings.
Are there any other settings which I should be changing please? Some screenshots below:
