WorkerB is available in two variants for Microsoft Teams organizations: V1, the full-featured version requiring elevated permissions, and V2, a streamlined version with reduced permissions but limited functionality. This guide outlines the key differences between the two, helping your organization choose the right fit based on your security policies and collaboration needs.

Overview

LinearB provides two installation options for WorkerB on Microsoft Teams:

  • V1 (Full permissions): Grants complete access to WorkerB's automation and collaboration capabilities.
