Admin Consent for Enterprise Users

If your organization uses Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory), you may need administrator approval before using Nix It.

Do I Need Admin Consent?

You need admin consent if:

  • You're using a work or school Microsoft account
  • You see a message like "Need admin approval" when trying to sign in
  • Your organization has enabled user consent restrictions

You don't need admin consent if:

  • You're using a personal Microsoft account (@outlook.com, @hotmail.com, etc.)
  • Your organization allows users to consent to apps on their own

How to Request Admin Consent

Step 1: Contact Your IT Administrator

Reach out to your IT department or Microsoft 365 administrator and let them know you'd like to use Nix It.

Step 2: Provide the Admin Consent URL

Your administrator will need to visit a special URL to approve Nix It for your organization. Direct them to the Nix It Admin Consent page.

Step 3: Administrator Approves

When your administrator visits the consent URL, they will:

  1. Sign in with their admin account
  2. Review the permissions Nix It requests
  3. Choose to approve for the entire organization

Step 4: You Can Sign In

Once approved, all users in your organization can sign in to Nix It without needing individual approval.
