    Why is Admin Consent Required to Use the AvePoint Apps?

    According to Microsoft’s standard Azure app consent process, when adding an app to your Microsoft 365 environment, consent is required by your Microsoft 365 Global Administrator or Privileged Role Administrator since the Administrator must review the permissions required by the apps. For more information about admin consent, refer to the Microsoft technical article:

    Note the following:

    - The Engage Administrator (Yammer Administrator) can also consent to the AvePoint services’ apps for Viva Engage. - The Global Administrator, Privileged Role Administrator, or Engage Administrator (Yammer Administrator) account is not stored by AvePoint cloud services. The consent process is managed by Microsoft, so your username and password are never shared with AvePoint during the consent process. - Admin consent does not grant admin privileges to the AvePoint apps. For more details on the permissions required by apps and the instructions for creating app profiles, refer to the [Manage App Profiles](#missing-link) section.
