Microsoft 365 Application Integration
EASI and Information Security have implemented a new process that allows for controlled application integration with Microsoft 365. At the University, community members can integrate applications with their U of T Microsoft 365 accounts in the following ways:
- Identified low-risk apps that do not access Microsoft 365 data are available for University-wide use.
- Apps that are higher risk and integrate with Microsoft 365 data can be enabled for specific user groups after going through a request and approval process.
Please find information on the current list of approved apps and the app installation process below. For additional questions, please submit a ticket through the Enterprise Service Centre.

Installing apps at the University of Toronto
When a user attempts to install an app, they will receive one of the following messages based on the app’s current status.

- If a user tries to log in to an application that has not yet been approved, they will see a message that states that admin consent is required and will not be able to access the app.
- If a user tries to log in to an application that is only available to pre-identified users and the user does not have access, they will receive an error message. The error varies by application. Some possible error messages may include:
