Installing an app automatically is disabled when one audience-tab is set to Entire organization

[VSI]

Hi,

I have enabled publishing apps to the entire organization and also pushing apps to end users in Admin portal:

Still when I go to the setup of an app it shows Install this app automatically setting as disabled. I have one audience tab granted to the entire organization and when I took the selection off, the automatic installation selection was enabled again.

This relates to a problem where users in my organization can't see the reports in sharepoint when they are published as apps and the tab is granted to the entire organization. I wonder if pushing the app solves this original problem if I get it sorted.

I didn't find any information about this or similar problems with the new audiences functionality.

Thanks in advance for any help!

That is a safeguard. Otherwise your app would indeed be installed for all users in your AD. This would lead to an immense pollution very quickly if other apps do the same, and will make it much harder for your users to find the app they are interested in.

Thanks for clarifying this. I guess we'll have to tackle this with AD groups then. If it doesn't solve my original problem, I'll make another post about it.
