LawVu Add-In - Deployment through Office365 Admin Centre

If LawVu users are unable to install the Outlook and Word Add-ins themselves, then they can often be installed and deployed like any other Microsoft Office Store add-In by utilizing the Office365 admin center.


Required Permissions

In order to streamline the installation and first use of the LawVu for Outlook add-in by your users, we recommend preemptively consenting to the required API permissions on behalf of all users who will require this add-in.

Optional Permissions for Shared Mailbox support

The LawVu for Outlook add-in supports shared mailboxes without the email tracking features. However, additional permissions must be consented to before using the add-in with a shared mailbox.

Mail.ReadWrite.Shared (delegated)

Please note that LawVu's mail tracking features are not supported in shared mailboxes.

Consenting the Add-in

Consent for the permissions is requested dynamically when a user signs into the Add-in for the first time.

Depending on your Microsoft 365 configuration, there are also other options to consent:

Consenting the Add-in to use optional shared mailbox features

When a user attempts to use the Add-in with a shared mailbox message, they are dynamically asked for further consent to API permissions required for the Add-in to access the shared mailbox.

In addition to the steps in Consenting the Add-in, the following options are available to consent for shared mailbox permissions:



Deployment

In the Office 365 Admin Centre, go to Settings, then Integrated Apps. Click on Get Apps:

Search for LawVu:

Select the target user or a user group:

This will automatically deploy the Add-in to the selected users and will make it available in Outlook or Word.

Please Note:

If the Add-In is unavailable after the deployment for the users, please check if there are any security policies across the organization or on individual user machines that would prevent access to the Microsoft Office Add-In Store or the use of the Outlook Add-In.
