Granting admin consent to Otter in Entra

Allow users to request consent for applications they are unable to consent for. This will allow the admin to provide consent for the application.

1. Sign in to Microsoft Entra as an administrator. 
2. (optional) Navigate to Applications > Enterprise Applications > Consent and permissions > User consent settings. Select Do not allow user consent. This will allow the admin to have full control over who is able to connect to Otter. 
   
3. Navigate to Applications > Enterprise Applications > Consent and permissions > Admin consent settings. Ensure User can request admin consent to apps they are unable to consent to is toggled to Yes. This will send the needed request to the Entra administrator. 
   

Skip to Step 3 if you do not see the Otter app in your Enterprise applications.

1. Navigate to Applications > Enterprise Applications. 
2. There may be multiple Otter applications, if you have set up SSO or staging applications. Click on the Otter application where Homepage URL is https://otter.ai. (if you do not see Otter, skip to step 3)
3. Click on Properties > Delete.
   
4. Confirm deletion.
   

Have a non-admin member of Otter attempt to connect their calendar. This will prompt an admin consent request, allowing the administrator on Entra’s side (regardless if they have an Otter account or not, to provide consent for the application).

1. Sign in to Otter.ai.
2. Navigate to Account Settings > Apps.
3. Click Add next to Microsoft.
   
4. Continue through the sign-in process. The pop-up will then require the user to request consent from the admin. Have the user type in a response and click Request Approval. This will send a request for the Entra administrator to approve and provide Otter with permission.
   
5. A request will be sent to the Entra administrator.

1. As the Entra administrator, navigate to the Otter application > Admin consent requests > My Pending > Otter.
2. Click on Review permissions and consent.
   
3. Sign in as an Entra administrator. Click Accept.
   
4. The correct permissions have been added, which can be viewed in Permissions.
   

Requiring an assignment to the application will provide you full control over users who will be able to connect their calendars.

2. Toggle Assignment required as Yes.
   
3. Click on Users and groups. Add your user/group to control who can connect their calendar to Otter.
