Admin setup guide: how to approve ReadyTeam in Microsoft 365

For IT admins approving third-party app access in Microsoft 365.

ReadyTeam securely integrates with Microsoft 365 to sync project documents, sync calendars and scheduling, and connect Outlook for construction project communications.

To enable Outlook connections for your team, you'll need to grant ReadyTeam permission in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). This authorizes a secure, organization-wide connection through Microsoft's verified OAuth process.

ReadyTeam is a verified Microsoft partner app. For details on our security and compliance practices, visit the ReadyTeam Trust Center.

Granting access to ReadyTeam​

There are two ways to approve ReadyTeam. Use method one if you haven't approved it yet. Use method two if you need to manage or review permissions centrally, or approve access retroactively.

Admins can approve ReadyTeam using one of two methods:

This is the quickest option and grants access for all users in your organization.

Steps:

  1. Navigate to ReadyTeam and click Continue with Microsoft/Outlook

  2. Sign in with your Microsoft admin account

  3. On the Permissions requested screen, check Consent on behalf of your organization

  4. Click Accept

Once approved, all users in your organization can connect ReadyTeam, including anyone who previously saw a "Need admin approval" message. Those users just need to return to readyteam.ai and try connecting again.

If you missed the consent checkbox during setup, use the method below.

Use this method to approve ReadyTeam centrally or retroactively, without needing to go through the ReadyTeam login flow.

Steps:

  1. Go to Microsoft Entra ID** → Enterprise Applications**

  2. Search for ReadyTeam

  3. Go to Security → click Permissions

  4. Click Grant Admin consent for ReadyTeam AI Pty Ltd

Once approved, all users can connect ReadyTeam without individual admin approval.

Optional configuration​

This allows users to request access themselves if they hit a "Need admin approval" message, so it comes to you as a request rather than a support ticket.

Steps:

  1. In Microsoft Entra ID, go to Enterprise Applications → Consent and permissions

  2. Select Admin Consent Settings

  3. Set Users can request admin consent to apps they are unable to consent to to Yes

  4. Under Reviewer Type select the users, groups or roles who should review incoming requests

To review pending requests, go to Microsoft Entra ID → Enterprise Applications → Admin Consent Requests.

2. Remove individual assignment requirements​

By default, some organizations require users to be individually assigned to an app before they can connect. Turning this off means any user in your tenant can connect to ReadyTeam automatically once admin consent has been granted.

This step is optional – if your organization uses strict app assignment policies, you may prefer to leave it as is.

Steps:

  1. In Enterprise Applications, select ReadyTeam

  2. Go to Manage → Properties

  3. Set Assignment required? to No

Best practice​

  • Review granted permissions periodically under Enterprise Applications → ReadyTeam → Permissions to make sure they align with your organization's security policies

  • Keep ReadyTeam visible in your Enterprise Applications list for transparency

  • If your organization uses Conditional Access, make sure ReadyTeam is listed as a trusted cloud app. Otherwise users may be blocked from signing in due to device or location policies enforced before OAuth authentication
