# Adding Thrive Hub for Outlook to Your Microsoft 365 Organisation

This guide explains how a Microsoft 365 administrator can approve **Thrive Hub for Outlook** so users in your organisation can connect their calendars and email securely. Hub for Outlook uses delegated Microsoft Graph permissions only, meaning it accesses data solely on behalf of the signed-in user.

## Who needs to do This

A Microsoft 365 Global Administrator or Cloud Application Administrator needs to complete this once per tenant. After approval, users can connect without seeing further permission prompts.

## Option 1: Approve When Prompted (Recommended)

1. In Thrive Hub, sign in to **Microsoft Outlook** as an admin.
2. On the permission screen, select **Consent on behalf of your organisation**.
3. Click **Accept**.

This grants permission for all users in the organisation.

## Option 2: Grant Access From Microsoft Entra

1. Go to the Microsoft Entra admin center.
2. Go to **Applications** > **Enterprise applications**.
3. Search for **Thrive Hub for Outlook** and open the app.
4. Select **Permissions**.
5. Click **Grant admin consent** and confirm.

Once completed, users can sign in without admin approval.

## What Permissions are Requested

Thrive Hub for Outlook requests delegated permissions only:

- Reading and updating the user's calendar
- Sending emails on behalf of the user when explicitly triggered
- Accessing basic profile and sign-in information

Thrive doesn't access data without a user being signed in and doesn't have background or system-wide mailbox access.

## Troubleshooting

If users still see a "Need admin approval" message after consent:

1. Ask them to sign out and sign back in using a new browser window.
2. Confirm that consent was granted to Thrive Hub for Outlook in Enterprise Applications.
