"Need admin approval" message while connecting to Project for the web/Planner (premium plans)

All information in this article also applies to both Project for the web and Planner (premium plans) environments. 

When connecting to Project for the Web or Planner (premium plans) with a user account that does not have the admin permissions in your tenant for the first time, the ‘Need admin approval’ window will appear.

To connect to Project for the Web for the first time, tenant Global Administrator consent is required to allow FluentPro Backup to access your Microsoft 365 tenant.

Admin consent should be granted only once before adding the first Project for the Web connection account. Once the consent is granted, any user account credentials without admin permissions can be used for connecting to Project for the Web.

Please use one of the following options to resolve the issue:

1. Ask your tenant Administrator to grant consent for the FluentPro Backup enterprise app.

For this, please copy the following URL for granting tenant-wide admin consent:

https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/adminconsent?client_id=27fe7205-dec5-4dc5-b5a6-008228153874 

The grant consent window will be opened as you open the URL with the tenant admin account in the browser. Click the ‘Accept’ button to grant the FluentPro Backup app permission to access your tenant.

That browser tab may be closed after redirection.

For more details about the permissions granted, refer to the Project for the Web connection account requirements article.

FluentPro Backup application for Project for the Web backup will be added to Microsoft 365 tenant. It can be managed in the Azure Enterprise applications.

Once the consent is granted, tenant users with non-admin accounts can connect to Microsoft Project for the Web in FluentPro Backup.

2. Another way to grant consent is to invite a user with a Microsoft 365 tenant administrator account to your FluentPro Backup tenant with an Admin role.

Please refer to the article on how to invite and manage users in FluentPro Backup

Please select to add a new Project for the Web environment and connect to Project for the Web with the admin account. Once you log in to the account, the 'grant consent' (‘Permissions requested’) window will be opened.

Click the ‘Accept’ button to grant the FluentPro Backup app permissions to access your tenant.

For more details about the permissions granted, refer to the Project for the Web connection account requirements article.

Once consent is granted, tenant users with non-admin accounts can connect to Project for the Web in FluentPro Backup.

You can log out of the admin account in FluentPro Backup, and users without admin permissions can connect and launch backups/restores from Project for the Web in FluentPro Backup.
