OneDrive (Admin Consent)

This guide provides instructions for Connecting to OneDrive When Admin Consent Is Required

1. Understand the Admin Consent Request

• What You See: A notification that informs you the application requires admin consent to access organizational resources.

• Message: The app cannot be used until an administrator grants the necessary permissions.

How to Proceed:

• If you are an administrator: Log in using your admin account to approve the request.

• If you are not an administrator: Contact your organization's admin to request approval for the app.

2. Review the Requested Permissions

• This page lists all the permissions the app is requesting, such as:

  • Reading items in site collections.

  • Reading user files.

  • Accessing all files that users can access.

  • Maintaining data access.

  • Reading user profiles.

  • Consent on behalf of the organization (applies permissions for all users in the organization).

Key Notes:

• Only administrators can grant "Consent on behalf of your organization."

• Ensure that you carefully review these permissions before proceeding.

3. Approve or Decline the Request

• If you trust the app and are an administrator, click “Accept” (Akzeptieren) to grant the requested permissions.

• If you do not approve, click “Cancel” (Abbrechen) to deny access.

4. Report or Seek Support If Necessary

• If the app seems suspicious, click “Report this app” (Hier melden) to notify Microsoft.

• For further assistance, contact your IT department or system administrator.

Security Reminder

• Only approve apps you fully trust and understand.

• Avoid granting permissions that provide broad access to organizational data unless strictly necessary.
