Authorizing Calendar Integration

Connecting an Outlook calendar to Cogram may require a request for administrator consent. This page describes how IT administrators can approve such requests.

When your users connect their calendars, they can invite Cogram to meetings straight from their own schedule, with no manual steps at meeting time.

Which permissions does Cogram receive and what data is processed?

When Cogram is connected to your users' calendars, Cogram receives permission to read their calendar information. This allows Cogram to display their calendar events in Cogram’s calendar interface and makes it easy for your users to invite Cogram to meetings for note-taking. Cogram does not have the ability to modify your users' calendars.

Administrator Consent

When a Cogram user attempts to connect their Outlook calendar with Cogram this may require consent from an IT administrator, depending on your organization’s IT settings.

The general setting that controls if administrator approval is required for users to give consent for third-party app connections in Microsoft 365 is documented here. For many organizations, the default setting is that administrator approval is required.

In this case, when a Cogram user attempts to connect their Outlook calendar, Cogram redirects to Microsoft’s OAuth screen and the user will be prompted to request administrator consent.

Granting Consent to User Requests

For the administrator to approve this request, the following steps are required:

1. Sign in to the Azure portal as one of the registered reviewers of the admin consent workflow.

2. Search for and select Azure Active Directory.

3. From the navigation menu, select Enterprise Applications.

4. Under Activity, select Admin consent requests.

5. Select the My Pending tab to view and act on the pending requests.

6. Select the application that is being requested from the list.

7. Approve the request. To approve a request, grant admin consent to the application. Once a request is approved, all requestors are notified that they have been granted access.

Approving a request allows all users in your tenant to access the application unless otherwise restricted by user assignment.
