By default, Morgen integrates with Outlook to sync personal calendars and shared calendars.
However, group calendars (Microsoft 365 Groups, Teams, shared resources) require a specific permission that must be granted by admins of your organization.
This guide will walk through the steps required to help you and your IT admin successfully grant consent for Morgen to sync these calendars.
Scenario 1: Request admin approval
After clicking "Sign in with Microsoft Outlook", you might see a dialog similar to the one below, with key details like:
- The “Approval required" title
- A list of the permissions that Morgen will request
- A text field and "Request approval" button
If this is the case, then you can simply add your justification in the text field, and request approval.
Your IT admin should then receive an email about your request.
Clicking "Review request" should bring them to the screen below, where they can approve the request.
Once this is approved, you will be notified via email, and can then try reconnecting your Outlook account with the group calendar access checkbox enabled.
If your IT admin is unsure on how to grant access, you can send a link to this guide sothey can follow the steps mentioned above.
Scenario 2: Admin approval requests are NOT enabled
Some organizations may not have configured the organization to allow requests for admin approval.
This is the case if you see the screen below with:
- “Need admin approval” title
- No text field or button to request approval
In this scenario, you need to contact your admin and ask if they can allow users to request admin consent for third party apps.
The admin can do this by following the steps below in the "Microsoft Entra admin center", to enable the option "Users can request admin consent to apps they are unable to consent to".
Once this is done, then reconnecting your account should bring you to Scenario 1, where you can now request approval for the app.
For the official documentation, you can visit https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/enterprise-apps/configure-admin-consent-workflow#enable-the-admin-consent-workflow
Scenario 3: Granting access to the organization as an admin
Alternatively, if you are an admin in an organization that has a Morgen Team plan and do not want to manually approve the request for every member, then when connecting your own Outlook account you can check the option to "Consent on behalf of your organization".
