    Check the box next to Consent on behalf of your organization, and then click Accept.

    Ensure to check the Consent on behalf of your organization box, else application permissions are granted only from the current user and all other end-users in the environment are individually prompted to grant access when logging in.

    After consent is granted, a confirmation prompt appears informing that administrator consent was successfully granted for the Azure tenant.

  4. In multi-tenant Azure environments, for every additional Azure tenant, use a separate Workspace Container and configure it as detailed in the previous steps.
