Description

Require administrators to provide consent for applications before use.

Rationale

If Microsoft Entra ID is running as an identity provider for third-party applications, permissions and consent should be limited to administrators or pre-approved. Malicious applications may attempt to exfiltrate data or abuse privileged user accounts.

Impact

Enforcing this setting may create additional requests that administrators need to review.
