Information

Require administrators to provide consent for the apps before use.

Rationale:

Unless Azure Active Directory is running as an identity provider for third-party applications, do not allow users to use their identity outside of your cloud environment. User profiles contain private information such as phone numbers and email addresses which could then be sold off to other third parties without requiring any further consent from the user.

Impact:

Can cause additional requests to administrators that need to be fulfilled quite often.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
