Outlook + Morgen: Admin Consent Guide

Alaa
Software Engineer @Morgen

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.

microsoft outlook authorize access to group 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 receive an email about your request.

Clicking "Review request" will bring them to the screen below, where they can approve the request.

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
microsoft outlook need admin approval

Solution A: Allow admin consent requests

If the admin prefers to allow users to request approval, they can enable this option in the Microsoft Entra admin center:

  • Enable “Users can request admin consent to apps they are unable to consent to”
microsoft consent and permissions admin consent settings

After this is enabled, reconnecting your account should bring you to Scenario 1, where you can request approval for the app.

Solution B: Granting access to the organization as an admin

If you are an admin in an organization and do not want to manually approve access for each member, you can grant access organization-wide.


Grant access via direct authorization link

OR

Grant access by connecting Morgen to your account

When connecting your own Outlook account, select “Consent on behalf of your organization.”
