Resolution

To provide consent for non-admin users to create connections from the workflow designer:

  1. Login to Azure Portal with a Global Admin account, go to Azure Active Directory > User settings.
  2. Select Yes for the setting Users can consent to apps accessing company data on their behalf.

 

Additional Information

A dialog indicating that admin approval is required simply means the SharePoint Online tenant has been configured to not allow non-admins to provide consent to apps, if this occurs speak to an admin to either create the connection or allow the consent (setting in Azure portal). 

To grant tenant-wide admin consent, you need:

  • An Azure AD user account with one of the following roles:
    • Global Administrator or Privileged Role Administrator, for granting consent for apps requesting any permission, for any API.
    • Cloud Application Administrator or Application Administrator, for granting consent for apps requesting any permission for any API, except Azure AD Graph or Microsoft Graph app roles (application permissions).
