DataMapper: Admin approval for regular/non global scan (zero trust)
I got an "Approval required" message
When connecting your Microsoft account to DataMapper, you may get a message saying "Approval required", or "Need Admin approval".
Why am I seeing this message?
It looks like your Microsoft Admin has set some restrictions on the apps you can add to your Microsoft account. The best way to get approval for DataMapper will depend on how your Admin has configured your team's access to third-party apps.
Ask an Admin to edit consent and permissions settings
If you see a button that says "Request approval", when trying to connect to DataMapper, click it to send an approval link to your Admin. If you don't see that option in the pop-up box, you'll need to get in touch with your Admin and ask them for approval instead. There are two places an Admin can go to approve or deny you access to connect your Microsoft account with DataMapper:
- The Microsoft Entra Admin Center
If you are a Microsoft Global Administrator or an Azure Active Directory Administrator, you can edit permissions settings yourself. If you are a regular user, ask your Microsoft Global Administrator or your Azure Active Directory Administrator to edit the settings for you using the following instructions.
How to edit permissions in the Microsoft Entra Admin Center:
Start by checking your consent and permissions settings through the Azure portal:
- Sign in to the Azure portal as a Global Administrator.
- Go to Azure Active Directory > Applications > Enterprise applications
- Go to Consent and permissions > User consent settings.
- Select the option: Allow user consent for apps from verified publishers, for selected permissions.
- Then, add the permissions that users can consent to on the Permission classifications screen.
