For example, we may use QnA maker to provide first-level NOC monitoring help, which will benefit both the requestor and the first-line support team significantly.
We had a look through a similar article 2.8 years back how to create a azure web app bot here
Microsoft’s investment in cognitive services has been fantastic, as they have simplified the automation process and integration with Microsoft Teams while requiring little or no coding knowledge. This greatly aids us in building QnA makers and bringing them live in a matter of days providing we keep all of our knowledge bases up to date and accessible.
In this article we will go through the steps that is required to integrate the QnA Maker with Microsoft Teams.
Below are the main requirements to build QnA Maker and integrating them with Teams :
The first and the foremost thing is to create the QnA maker from the Azure portal. We can create them easily by navigating to https://QnAMaker.ai

There is a work around which can be used until we get a delegated RBAC role for performing this action. With Azure Automation account, creating a flow, integrating with flow and delegating this action to helpdesk admins will reduce the load on global admins performing this action.
