The admin consent workflow gives admins a secure way to grant access to applications that require admin approval. When a user tries to access an application but is unable to provide consent, they can send a request for admin approval. The request is sent via email to admins who have been designated as reviewers. A reviewer takes action on the request, and the user is notified of the action.

To approve requests, a reviewer must be a global administrator, cloud application administrator, or application administrator. The reviewer must already have one of these admin roles assigned; simply designating them as a reviewer doesn't elevate their privileges.

To approve requests, a reviewer must have the [permissions required](grant-admin-consent.md#prerequisites) to grant admin consent for the application requested. Simply designating them as a reviewer doesn't elevate their privileges.

Also during admin consent, applications or services provide direct access to an API, which can be used by the application if there's no signed-in user.

When your organization purchases a license or subscription for a new application, you might proactively want to set up the application so that all users in the organization can use it. To avoid the need for user consent, an administrator can grant consent for the application on behalf of all users in the organization.

After an administrator grants admin consent on behalf of the organization, users aren't usually prompted for consent for that application. In certain cases, a user might be prompted for consent even after consent was granted by an administrator. An example might be if an application requests another permission that the administrator hasn't already granted.

Granting admin consent on behalf of an organization is a sensitive operation, potentially allowing the application's publisher access to significant portions of the organization's data, or the permission to do highly privileged operations. Examples of such operations might be role management, full access to all mailboxes or all sites, and full user impersonation.

Before you grant tenant-wide admin consent, ensure that you trust the application and the application publisher, for the level of access you're granting. If you aren't confident that you understand who controls the application and why the application is requesting the permissions, do *not* grant consent.
