What you see

When you sign in to your tenant, one of these messages shows up:

  1. The App requires your admin’s approval

    Sign-in prompt saying the app requires your admin's approval
  2. The application needs permission to access resources in your organization that only an admin can grant. Please ask an admin to grant permission to this app before you can use it.

An automation error about templates

In Automations, the details of the Error in the Actions Menu show:

Template are not configured properly.

A missing permissions banner

Permission requirements change from time to time, which can leave a permission missing. When Rencore Governance detects a missing permission, it shows a banner:

Banner about a missing permission

Why it happens

Both messages mean that the Admin Consent Workflow is enabled for your tenant. Only administrators can give access to apps.

An automation error about templates

The template setting of the automation is not configured properly.

A missing permissions banner

Rencore Governance needs a permission that has not been consented yet.

How to fix it

A global administrator needs to do these steps:

  1. Sign in to https://app.rencore.com/ with a global admin account.
  2. Check Consent on behalf of your organization.
  3. Click Accept.

Afterward, users can sign in to Rencore Governance. The app used for sign-in uses these permissions:

NameDescription
View users’ basic profileAllows the app to see your users’ basic profile (name, picture, user name)
Maintain access to data you have given it access toAllows the app to see and update the data you gave it access to, even when users are not currently using the app. This does not give the app any additional permissions.

An automation error about templates

  1. Click Edit Automation in the top right.

  2. Click 2. Automation.

  3. Check or change the value of the template. It can be None, Rencore Governance default or a custom template that you created.
