Block and Deny options greyed out in admin consent requests

Question

Hi,

I'm currently reviewing the list of admin consent requests for my company. Some requests are fairly old and the requester no longer needs it. So I want to cancel the request. However when I go to the app's details, I notice the block and deny options are greyed out. Only the "Review permissions and consent" option is available.

As the person no longer requires it, I want to deny / block the access. I was wondering how to ungrey these options? Do I need a specific role to do these options?

Currently I have the following roles, most are administrators:
Application Administrator
Billing Administrator
Cloud Application Administrator
Dynamics 365 Administrator
Exchange Administrator
Guest Inviter
License Administrator
Power BI Administrator
Service Support Administrator
SharePoint Administrator
Teams Administrator
User Administrator

Answer 1

Hi @Jason Yeung

Try the following roles:

Global Administrator or Privileged Role Administrator

-----------------------------

If this is helpful please accept answer.

Answer 2

Hi @Jason Yeung , did the above answer help? You need to at least have the "Privileged Role Administrator" role for this to work. If this doesn't work please let me know and I can help you further.

Best,
James

Answer 3

Hello,

Did you find the solution ?

I got the issue with a global administrator account, set in the admin consent settings as reviewer.

Answer 4

neither of these roles worked for me

I have Global admin, Privileged Role Administrator, and App Administrator roles assogned, as well as being assigned the reviewer.

Answer 5

I had this issue aswell - i do think i found out what is happening:

The requests have a expiry date - I discovered in my demo tenant that as soon as a request expires it still appears as pending in the "All (preview)" tab - so if you were checking this via the All tab this is what might have happened
