Purpose:
The purpose of this article is to provide direction to Outreach Admins in providing Admin consent to Office 365.
Admin consent lets an IT administrator in your business grant individuals permission to connect their Office 365 mailbox and/or calendar to Outreach.
Many businesses use admin consent as a security setting to help prevent users from accidentally allowing someone to access their mailbox or other data by putting an admin-gated approval process in front of the login process to third-party applications that allow sign-in using Office 365 credentials.
If your company uses admin consent, your IT administrator will need to add Outreach to the list of services that can access data from your work email and calendar accounts. If admin consent isn’t provided to Outreach, you won’t be able to connect your mailbox or calendar to your Outreach account.
Intended Audience:
- Outreach Admins
Notes:
- Your Office365 administrator must complete the following steps. Individuals without an administrator license will not be able to set up this feature.
