Admin Approval

You can adjust your user settings or API permissions to control how users authenticate against your application.

Need Admin Approval

If a user tries to authenticate against an application and an admin hasn't granted consent, they will see a screen that prompts them to either continue without permission or for an admin to log in and grant permission.

There are two ways an admin can give permissions:

  1. Give admin consent in the API permissions and re-authenticate the user.

  2. Create a new session and sign into the application as an admin user to grant permission.

User Settings

To control if your users can authenticate themselves against the Nylas application or if an administrator needs to approve the application, you'll need to adjust your Enterprise Applications User Settings.

Verified App Publisher

As of November 20, 2020, Microsoft requires you to be a verified publisher, otherwise your users will be presented with an error screen. You'll need to complete the verification process before changing your user settings. Read more at Microsoft Publisher verification. Keep in mind that a verified publisher is not the same as a verified domain. You'll need to go through both steps.

To adjust the Need Admin Approval setting, navigate to Enterprise applications, and click Consent and permissions in the left navigation. The User consent settings page shows options for two settings:

  • User consent for applications (Allows the user to grant access to their data to applications.)
  • Group owner consent for apps accessing data (Allows group owners to grant applications access to their group's data)

Set both of the settings to one of the Allow settings if you want your users to be able to authenticate themselves. If you want your users to require administrative permission, set both options to Do not allow.

For certain functionality, such as room resources, the API permissions that Nylas requires will need approval from an administrator. For example, the
Place.Read.All permission requires an administrator to grant approval.

To give Admin consent from the Azure Portal, follow the steps below:

  1. Navigate to the Enterprise Applications area and select the application that you want to configure.
  2. Click on API Permissions.
  3. Follow the on-screen steps to give Admin consent.

  4. Navigate to Enterprise Application.
  5. Click on Admin consent requests. From here, the mail administrator can see all pending requests and can give consent to the user here.
  6. When the above steps are complete, the user can then restart the authentication process and connect the account to Nylas.
