Why does a Microsoft 365 application display "Approval Required"?

Overview

The University of Idaho automatically blocks all applications which request permissions to access Microsoft 365. This is done to enforce identity and security policies. Users will see an "Approval required" screen that asks for justification to allow permissions to the application.

 

Warning

Applications which require access to employee account information must go through the IT Governance Process to review the application can store university owned data securely and will comply with technical controls to limit data loss. Employee data is subject to eDiscovery, records retention and federal and state law even if stored with third party services.

Many email applications cannot be approved as they cannot comply with data loss prevention controls.
