Approving Almo in Entra – A guide for IT Admins

Apr 23, 2026 2 min read

Introduction

Almo is a Microsoft AppSource Outlook add-in. Before users in your organisation can sign in, an IT Administrator needs to grant admin consent once, organisation-wide. This consent is granted via Azure Portal and Entra.

This page explains what permissions Almo requires, why, and how to grant them. (new version coming soon)

Security Certification

Almo is listed on Microsoft AppSource, Microsoft’s verified marketplace for Outlook add-ins. Before any add-in is published on AppSource, Microsoft requires it to pass a security and compliance review.

Almo has successfully completed that review.
