​
Prerequisites

  • A Microsoft Entra administrator for your school tenant
  • A teacher who can begin Type the Word’s Microsoft Teams setup with a school account
  • Microsoft Education classes with current teacher and student memberships
1

Begin teacher setup

Have a teacher start Microsoft Teams teacher setup.
2

Open administrator consent

If Microsoft requires administrator approval, open the administrator-consent link supplied during setup.
3

Approve the application

Sign in with an administrator account for the same school tenant, review the requested Microsoft Education permissions, and accept them for the organization.
4

Confirm approval

Confirm Type the Word reports that administrator consent was granted.
Administrator consent approves the application for the tenant. Teachers still sign in individually so Type the Word can synchronize the classes they teach.

​
Verify the handoff

Ask the teacher to restart Microsoft Teams sign-in and complete the first roster synchronization. Administrator setup is complete when the teacher reaches Type the Word without an approval-required error.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Consent is denied: Confirm the administrator belongs to the same tenant as the teacher.
  • A personal account opens: Sign out and choose the school or work Microsoft account.
  • Teacher still sees approval required: Generate a fresh consent link and verify approval completed for the correct tenant.
