Manually approve Microsoft 365 apps registration
When Microsoft 365 apps registrations are assigned, they are initially in an inactive state. A Global Administrator in your organization must approve admin consent to activate these apps. This approval can be done either manually or using the App Consent Grant Utility (See Approve Microsoft 365 apps using the App Consent Grant utility.).
Approving admin consent grants the necessary permissions and access rights to perform backup and restore operations. Follow these steps to manually approve (grant admin consent) for Microsoft 365 app registration.
