How to Review a Business App Before Employees Connect Their Work Accounts

A productivity app may request access to email, files, calendars, or contacts when an employee signs in with a work account. The convenience of single sign-on does not show whether the requested permissions are appropriate or how the app handles business data.

What to check

Review the publisher, requested OAuth scopes, data retention and deletion terms, admin consent settings, sharing behavior, and available audit logs. Determine whether the app is already approved and whether a limited pilot can answer the business need.

Recommended next step

Use the organization’s application approval process, grant only necessary permissions, and define an owner and review date. Revoke unused grants and make sure employees know how to report an unexpected consent screen.
