Need Admin Approval

Admin_Approval

How an Admin can give permissions​

The admin will need to create a new session and sign in to the application as an admin user to grant permission. To adjust the Need Admin Approval:

  1. Go to the Microsoft Entra admin center.

  2. On the left hand menu, choose Applications > Enterprise applications > Consent and Permissions > User consent settings.

  3. There are three settings that control the authentication for the user:

    a. Do not allow user consent

    b. Allow user consent for apps from verified publishers, for selected permissions (Recommended)

    c. Allow user consent for apps

Click option a or option b if you want users to authenticate themselves. Click the option c in order to require administrative permission.

  2. Toggle the button to “yes” to enable "Users can request Admin consent to apps they are unable to consent to".

  3. Register some trusted user who has an email inbox as a reviewer by pressing the + Add users button.

  4. Press save.

Approval Required​

Depending on the authorization given by the Microsoft Admin, the below notification may appear.

  1. When reaching the "need admin approval" page, the user will need to request approval.

  2. Microsoft will send an email to the admin for the request - they'll need to press approve in the email sent by Microsoft - this has now approved the user to connect to Blink.

  3. In Blink, the user will need to re-sign into their email as they previously did. It will work now as they now have admin approval.
