When creating a SigParser account using Microsoft 365 work credentials, or when connecting your Microsoft 365 mailbox, admin approval may be required based on your organization’s security policies.
Approach 1: Azure Portal
As an Admin, go into your Microsoft Azure Portal > Enterprise Applications > Activity > Admin Consent Requests. You should see the request there.
Approach 2: Microsoft Admin Center
Your Microsoft 365 Admin can review and approve SigParser’s requested permissions by navigating to:
Microsoft Entra Admin Center > Enterprise Applications > Admin Consent Requests
Once approved, the user can complete account creation or mailbox connection in SigParser.
It can take 1 hour+ for Microsoft permissions to update. If your Admin applies permissions updates and you cannot proceed, try again in 1 hour.
Microsoft Graph Permissions Requested by SigParser
SigParser uses Microsoft Graph API to securely extract and maintain contact and relationship data. Access is limited to the minimum permissions required for the platform to function.
Requested permissions and what they mean:
Mail.Read
Allows SigParser to read email metadata and signature blocks to identify contact information and relationship activity.
SigParser does not read or analyze full email message content beyond signatures.Calendars.Read
Enables visibility into meeting metadata (e.g., attendees and dates) to help calculate relationship strength and interaction history.
Meeting content and notes are not accessed.Contacts.Read
Allows SigParser to read existing contacts to prevent duplicates and keep contact records accurate and up to date.GroupMember.Read.All
Used to understand group membership and organizational context (e.g., distribution lists or teams) for relationship mapping and coworker identification.Users.Read.All
Allows SigParser to read basic user profile information (name, email address) to correctly associate mailbox activity and contacts within the organization.
Security notes:
SigParser cannot access the Microsoft 365 admin environment or perform administrative actions.
Permissions apply only to the approved scope and are used strictly for data extraction and enrichment.
SigParser does not send email, modify messages, or impersonate users.
Access and processing are governed by SigParser’s SOC 2 Type II–certified security controls.
Admins can review the exact permissions during the Microsoft Entra Admin Consent workflow before approving access.
Enable Admin Consent Requests
If you do not have the option to request Admin Approval, this needs to be enabled by your Admin.
Azure > Enterprise Applications > Consent and Permissions > Admin Consent Settings > enable "Users can request admin consent to apps they are unable to consent to"
