Pre-installation is important because most Arist learners receive content via "push", instead of seeking out the app and registering for a course themselves.
You should already have created or identified an appropriate group to use (M365 group or just default to all users).
Open your Teams admin center. Navigate to Teams apps > Manage apps > Setup policies
If defaulting to all users, choose the Global Policy.
If using a group, we will create the policy first before assigning it to the group. Create a new custom policy or choose an appropriate existing one.
In either case, your policy should look like the following screenshot. Ensure Arist is under your "Installed apps". You can also optionally force the app to be pinned under the "Pinned apps" section.
To apply a custom (non Global) policy to a set of users, find the "Group policy assignment" tab on the App setup policies page, which might look like this in the middle of the page:
From there, you can select the M365 group, apply it to the policy, and select an appropriate rank. Note that a single user can have multiple App Setup Policies applied. Precedence rules are defined by Microsoft here.
Since it's possible for these policies to stack, and precedence rules are hard to troubleshoot, you may need to add Arist as an Installed app to multiple policies to be more confident that they will correctly apply to the relevant users.
Propagation Time and Setup Validation
After correctly configuring permissions and pre-installs, your Teams changes may take some time to propagate. Arist estimates up to 72 hours to receive the first event, and if there's a large number of events, they may be queued up at about 10,000 per day.
To validate whether Arist for Teams was set up correctly, refer to this article.
