What this guide covers

Microsoft 365 companies usually let only an admin approve apps that read mail, calendars or contacts. This guide explains the one-time approval for JobsiteOn, for the IT admin and for the person who asked for it.

Why an admin has to approve

Since late 2025, Microsoft's default settings for Microsoft 365 companies no longer let employees approve apps that reach mail, calendars or contacts on their own. An admin approves once for the whole company. After that, each person still connects their own mailbox, and JobsiteOn only reaches the mailbox of the person who connected it.

Personal Outlook.com accounts do not need this step.

If you are the admin

  1. In JobsiteOn, go to Settings, Email & Inbox.
  2. Under Outlook, click I'm the admin, approve now.
  3. Sign in with your Microsoft 365 admin account.
  4. Microsoft lists what JobsiteOn asks for. Click Accept.
  5. You see "JobsiteOn is approved". Your team can connect now.

If a teammate sent you a link, open it and follow steps 3 to 5. You do not need a JobsiteOn account.

If you are not the admin

  1. In Settings, Email & Inbox, click Copy link for my admin.
  2. Send the link to your IT admin. It works for 7 days.
  3. When they approve, connect Outlook again.

What JobsiteOn asks for

Permission Why JobsiteOn needs it
Sign in and read your profile Show which account is connected and send from the right address
Keep access Keep syncing after you close JobsiteOn, without signing in every hour
Read and write mail Show your mail in the JobsiteOn inbox and apply read, archive, delete and flag changes back to Outlook
Send mail as you Send replies, quotes, invoices and reminders from your own address
Read and write calendars Put scheduled jobs on the JobsiteOn Jobs calendar and read changes made there
Read and write contacts Keep customers in the JobsiteOn contact folder

JobsiteOn uses delegated access only. It can reach a mailbox, calendar or contact list only after that person connects it, and never other people's data. It does not ask for shared or delegated mailboxes, mailbox settings, files or Teams.

Remove the approval

In the Microsoft Entra admin center, go to Enterprise applications, open JobsiteOn, and choose Properties, then Delete. Every connection in your company stops working at once.
