Admin Portal Consent - Application stuck in "waiting admin approval"

Question

Admin Portal Consent - Application stuck in "waiting admin approval"

Tec 0

I have a user requesting Admin Consent for an Enterprise Application - I have reviewed the access and granted consent but the request seems to be stuck in Admin consent requests > My Pending

I have attempted to wait and click accept again but it has been several days.

Anything I can do to set a flag on this manually or via Graph/Powershell

Hi @Tec

Have you checked the Microsoft Entra ID portal to see if there are any pending admin approvals for the application? If not, please check the portal and see if there are any pending approvals.

If you have already checked the portal and the issue persists, you can try using Microsoft Graph.

NOTE:

To review the admin consent requests programmatically, use the appConsentRequest resource type and userConsentRequest resource type and their associated methods in Microsoft Graph. You can't approve or deny consent requests using Microsoft Graph.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

Thanks,

Navya.

Hi @Tec ,

Thank you for reaching out.

I understand that you are having trouble with an enterprise application that is stuck in "waiting admin approval" status.

In order to approve an application as an admin, you must have the global administrator role. Reviewers can view, block, or deny admin consent requests, but only global administrators can approve admin consent requests.

For your reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/enterprise-apps/configure-admin-consent-workflow#enable-the-admin-consent-workflow
