Centralized Deployment of Office addins
Business Central must always respect organizational constraints governing the use of Office add-ins. However, we do want to make it easier for administrators to configure those Add-ins so that the right set of users can get access to the right Excel, Outlook and Teams addins even if general access to store has been restricted.
