"User consent to apps" setting in the Microsoft 365 portal to be retired
From Microsoft 365 Message Center Archive by Merill Fernando · Microsoft may not have sent this notice to your tenant.What the notice says
Microsoft’s text, safely structuredWe will be retiring the "User consent to Apps" toggle in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. Instead, we recommend the utilization of the user consent settings in the Entra portal, which is where we will continue to invest our development resources.
When this will happen
We will be rolling out this change in early April 2024 and expect to complete by early May 2024.
How this will affect your organization
To control what permissions users can consent to, you can set your tenant-wide user consent policy through the Entra portal. No changes will be done to your settings as a part of this retirement, but admins will no longer be able to edit the policy using the Microsoft 365 admin center.
What you need to do to prepare
No preparation is needed, but if you are needing to view or edit your tenant-wide consent settings, please use the experience in the Entra portal.
