Extension access
Extension access connects your Amazon Quick Suite account to third party applications like Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Word, and Slack. Think of it as giving permission for Amazon Quick Suite to work inside the apps your team already uses, helping them accomplish their work, assisted by generative AI, and without context switching.
As an admin, you configure extension access. Then, either an admin or an author must install the extension in the Amazon Quick Suite console to make the extension available to end users. This default extension is available for use to all users on eligible subscriptions after setup. Installed extensions are available under Connections > Extensions in the Amazon Quick Suite menu for further configuration and management.
If you're an admin user of Amazon Quick Suite, you configure Amazon Quick Suite access to extensions, and can also deploy extensions for end user use. As an admin, you can also allow authors to edit and deploy extensions after you configure access.
User roles and extension permissions work as follows:
-
IAM Administrators: Can enable/remove extension access, create extensions, assign owners, and control extension availability for the organization.
-
Authors: Can create and install extensions using administrator-enabled access, and edit/delete extensions they own.
-
Readers (Reader Pro only): Can use all enabled extensions but cannot create or modify them.
Here's what you need to know about extension access:
-
What it is: A secure connection between your Amazon Quick Suite instance and your organization's account in third-party apps (like your Microsoft 365 or Slack workspace).
-
Why it matters: It gives your Amazon Quick Suite instance permission to work within your organization's specific tenant or workspace in these apps.
-
Who sets it up: Only administrators with IAM credentials can configure extension access and deploy extensions (or give authors permission to edit and deploy extensions) - it's a privileged operation that must be done before your team can start using extensions. Note that IAM admin users can access the Extension access pages from the Manage Quick Suite menu, but to configure a extension they may need to re-log in to the system and select Connections > Extensions from the Amazon Quick Suite menu.
