In this article, you lot'll larn how to configure the way users consent to applications and how to disable all time to come user consent operations to applications.

Before an application can access your organisation'southward data, a user must grant the application permissions to practice so. Unlike permissions allow different levels of access. By default, all users are immune to consent to applications for permissions that don't require administrator consent. For example, by default, a user can consent to allow an app to access their mailbox but tin can't consent to allow an app unfettered access to read and write to all files in your organization.

Important

To reduce the risk of malicious applications attempting to trick users into granting them access to your organization's data, we recommend that you allow user consent only for applications that have been published past a verified publisher.

Prerequisites

To configure user consent, you need:

  • A user account. If yous don't already have 1, yous tin create an account for free.
  • A Global Ambassador or Privileged Administrator role.
  • The Azure portal
  • PowerShell

To configure user consent settings through the Azure portal, do the following:

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal as a Global Administrator.

  2. Select Azure Active Directory > Enterprise applications > Consent and permissions > User consent settings.

  3. Under User consent for applications, select which consent setting y'all desire to configure for all users.

Tip

To permit users to asking an ambassador's review and approval of an application that the user isn't allowed to consent to, enable the admin consent workflow. For example, you lot might do this when user consent has been disabled or when an application is requesting permissions that the user isn't allowed to grant.
