Evo Comms: Microsoft account permissions

When you connect your Microsoft 365 account to Evo Comms, Microsoft displays a list of permissions the application is requesting. This article explains what each permission is and why it is needed.

All permissions are delegated. This means Evo Comms acts on your behalf and can only access what you can already access yourself. Access never stores your Microsoft password. You can revoke the connection at any time by visiting myapps.microsoft.com and removing Access Evo Comms from your connected applications.

Admin approval

Some organisations restrict third-party app consent to IT administrators. If you see an "Approval required" screen when connecting, you cannot proceed until your IT administrator grants access.

Administrators can grant consent via either of the following routes:

Option 1: Approve the individual user's request through the Microsoft admin consent workflow.

Option 2: Navigate to Azure Active Directory, then Enterprise Applications, then Access Evo Comms, and select Grant admin consent on behalf of your organisation.

Note: The application is registered under Access UK Ltd and is a verified Microsoft publisher. No application-level permissions are requested.

Once admin consent has been granted, return to Evo Comms and sign in again. You will not see the approval screen again.
