Your tenant administrator has to approve this app – recently I was working with the SharePoint modernization scanner tool, where one of the authentication methods was “Azure ACS App Only”. I am very hands-on to generate the client id and client secret because previously many times I did that, so with confidence, I started generating the client ID and client secret ID, unfortunately, ended up with the error “Your tenant administrator has to approve this app”, so, in this troubleshooting, I will share how to fix this issue.

I went to the “https://globalsharepoint2020.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appregnew.aspx” page to generate the client ID, and was successfully able to generate the below client id and client secret:

The app identifier has been successfully created.

Client Id:

Sample_Client_ID

Client Secret:

Sample_Client_Secret

Title:

SharePoint Scanner Tool

App Domain:

localhost

Redirect URI:

https://localhost

Then I went to the https://globalsharepoint2020.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appinv.aspx page to register the app permission XML, there I stuck up, once I entered the below permission XML:

<AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="true">
  <AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/tenant" Right="FullControl" />
</AppPermissionRequests>

After adding the above app permission XML, click on the “Create” button.

We will get the below error message:

Your tenant administrator has to approve this app.

Let it have full control of all site collections.

Let it share its permissions with other users.

Let it access basic information about the users of this site.

How to fix this “Your tenant administrator has to approve this app” error?

No worries, you don’t need to go to the tenant administrator to fix this issue, you yourself could fix this. 🙂

Solution: your tenant administrator has to approve this app

Just we need to change the site URL to the SharePoint admin center URL like below:

https://globalsharepoint2020-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appinv.aspx

SharePoint App permission Request XML, Tenant Scope Permission request XML in SharePoint Online (Office 365)
Tenant Scope Permission request XML in SharePoint Online (Office 365)

Now, click on the “Create” button.

Then, we could see that the “Trust it” button is enabled, and once we click on it, the tenant scope permission request XML will be registered.

Trust it button is enabled in tenant scope permission request XML in SharePoint Online

Key-takeaway:

In tenant scope permission request XML, we must pass the SharePoint online admin center URL, otherwise we cannot register the tenant scope app permission.

Summary: your tenant administrator has to approve this app

Thus, in this troubleshooting technique, we have learned about how to fix “Your tenant administrator has to approve this app” in the office 365 tenant.
