Manage app access

When an app is installed by an admin or a user, the app will ask for consent for any permissions or scopes associated with the app. Once consent has been given the user can use the app wherever the app has been installed. As an organization admin with an active Atlassian Guard Standard subscription, you can, however, manage where the app can be used by creating a data security policy.

Connected apps block user apps tab

Organization and site admins can also allow the installation or uninstallation of user apps to the admin level by selecting Block user apps in the Settings tab. By default, user installed apps are allowed.

Note that a user can revoke their app grants at any time using their own Connected Apps screen.
