How to connect

Admin consent
Some organizations require an Azure AD administrator to approve application permissions before users can sign in. If you see a "need admin approval" error, contact your IT administrator and ask them to grant consent for the xAI Grok application in the Azure AD admin portal under Enterprise applications.
Privacy and security
We do not train on your data. xAI does not use your Microsoft Teams data for model training.
Nothing is stored. Conversations that use your Teams connector do not result in any of your Teams data being stored on xAI servers. Grok accesses your data in real time when you ask a question, and does not retain it afterward.
Scoped to your account. Teams permissions are delegated to the signed-in user. Grok can only access teams, channels, and chats you are already a member of.
You control access. Disconnect at any time to immediately revoke Grok's access to your Microsoft account.
Disconnecting
To disconnect:
- Go to grok.com/connectors.
- Find the Microsoft Teams connector and click Disconnect.
You can also revoke the app's access from your Microsoft account at myapps.microsoft.com.
