If you are not able to install add-ins share this article with your Admin first and see if they can grant you permission to install add-ins.
Some customers do not have access to the Microsoft store. If you are unable to install our App from the Microsoft store you may follow the instructions here to install it (bypassing the store is called 'side loading').
