Summary

SharePoint Admins can soon manage guest app permissions using SharePoint Online Management Shell cmdlets. Updates to Get-SPOApplication and Set-SPOApplicationPermission will facilitate this. Rollout starts early October 2024 for Targeted Release, and mid-October 2024 for General Availability. Admins must download the latest SharePoint PowerShell version to prepare.

More information

SharePoint Embedded Administrators will be able to grant guest applications permission to SharePoint Embedded applications within their tenant using cmdlets in SharePoint Online Management Shell. A guest application is defined as any application within the enterprise applications of the owning tenant.

  1. Get-SPOApplication includes changes to view guest application permissions
  2. Set-SPOApplicationPermission includes changes to manage guest application permission management

When this will happen:

Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early October 2024 and expect to complete by mid-October 2024.

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in mid-October 2024 and expect to complete by late October 2024.

Current SharePoint admins will need to download the latest version of SharePoint PowerShell to access changes to guest application permission management cmdlet changes
