User Consent Settings in Microsoft 365
When it comes to applications that request access to your organization's data, managing user consent is crucial. Here's how you can configure and control user consent settings:
1. **Default Behavior**:
- By default, all users are allowed to consent to applications for permissions that don't require administrator approval.
- However, to reduce the risk of malicious apps gaining access to your organization's data, consider allowing user consent only for applications published by verified publishers.
2. **Configuring User Consent**:
- Sign in to the **Microsoft Entra admin center** as a **Global Administrator**.
- Navigate to **Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > Consent and permissions > User consent settings**.
- Choose the consent setting you want to configure for all users (e.g., allow or restrict user consent).
- Save your settings.
3. **Admin Approval Workflow**:
- If you disable user consent, admins must consent to apps before users can use them.
- Set up an **admin consent workflow** in the Microsoft Entra admin center so users can request admin approval for blocked apps.
Remember that users can grant access only to apps they own, and they can't give an app access to other users' information.
