Where group owners cannot allow applications to access data in the groups they own Do not allow group owner consent, which is the default settings.Here you can also define the options group owners have: Allow user consent for all applications, which means that users can give consent to any app who want to access organizational data.This is the new recommended option, which I will address later on Allow user consent for apps from verified publishers, for selected permissions.
Do not allow users to consent for apps, this is the default setting and will require an admin to do the consent on behalf of the user.You can define user consent for applications to either: In this page the following options are available. Under Enterprise Applications another blade has been added, titled: “Consent and permissions” When enabled, you can add selected groups in the User settings blade.Įnterprise Applications, user settings Consent and permissions If this option is set to limited, then only the members of the group selected can consent to those applications to access the data of the groups they own.If this option is set to no, then no user can consent to those application to access the data of the groups they own.If this option is set to yes, then all users who are owners of a group may consent to allow third-party multi-tenant applications to access the data of the groups they own.
This options allows you to define the following settings: There is now an extra configurable option called: “Users can consent to apps accessing company data for the groups they own”. Within the user settings page of the Enterprise Applications the following changes have been made. Functionality may change, even right after this post has been published. Note: This post reflects the status of Admin consent as of May 22, 2020. In order to address this, Microsoft made some changes to the way the Admin consent workflow is working which allows an Azure AD administrator more control over which requests must be approved and which are allowed automatically. While disabling this option for the end-users is recommended by Microsoft, and having a workflow in place to review any requests and approve if found valid is a more secure solution it introduced an administrative burden since each request must be reviewed by one of the defined users in the list of users to review admin consent requests. The article titled: “ Did you already modify your Azure AD consent defaults settings? Here is why you should“, explained why giving end-users within your Azure AD the ability to give consent for every Application might not be such a good idea.

The resourceId gets the value of Microsoft Graph API service principal’s objectId.Update October 7 2020: This functionality is now GA, see Publisher verification and app consent policies are now generally available.Prerequisitesīefore anything else since I’m taking the Microsoft Graph API permissions as an example, the Global Administrator Azure AD role is a must! It’s a no sweat to grant the permissions from the Portal tho, so let’s see how it can be done in an automated IaC way by using Terraform. In my case, I had an app with delegated Microsoft Graph API permissions which needless to say, some of them required Admin Consent –, and. Now, if you want your app to work by any means, and you click the button (grant the admin consent), this will lead to accepting it for all users who are using the app. So, when a user tries and fails to access an app, they send a request for admin approval. Simply put, the app registers permissions that require admin consent are usually permissions that allows access to sensitive data in your org. Admin Consent by definition enables granting access to Azure-registered applications that requires admin approval securely.
