The settings for the app launcher are in the PR_ROAMING_DICTIONARY property of the message at the root folder of the mailbox. This is why a user needs to have an Exchange Online mailbox in order to customize their app launcher. But that didn’t stop me from figuring out where these settings are stored and manipulating them programmatically.Īpp launcher settings are stored in a user’s mailbox. Office 365 does not currently allow admins to pin tiles for users you can only pin apps for your own account. You may want to not just add the tile, but also pin it to your users’ HOME tab. Here is an example of one I added to my tenant that just points to this blog’s RSS feed (hence the icon): These custom tiles then show up under the ALL tab for users. This image is the default tile layout for an E5 admin:Īdmins can add custom tiles to the tenant that point to any URL. It is accessed by clicking the waffle (though I see it more as a keypad) in the upper left corner. The app launcher in Office 365 is how users can quickly get to any workload no matter where they are in Office 365. At this time there is no way (supported or unsupported) that I am aware of to manage the new app launcher for users. The configuration of the tiles, such as those that are pinned, is no longer stored in the user’s mailbox. Update December 19, 2017: The process described in this post will not work with app launcher v3.
