Change Log
This article explains how Global Administrators can reconsent and provides a list of permission changes in Syskit Point app registrations through versions.
Syskit Point is constantly evolving and adding new features. Sometimes, we require additional consent from a Global administrator in your organization for these new features to work. This might be needed after upgrading to the latest version of Syskit Point.
Reconsent can be performed:
- By clicking the Reconsent button in the notification that appears after the Syskit Point upgrade, or
If the latest Syskit Point version has some new permissions requirements to which your Global Administrator has not consented before, you will get a notification at the bottom of the Home screen after your first sign-in to the new version:
Global Admin Reconsent Needed - Grant permissions to Syskit Point to use the latest feature.
To resolve this and ensure all the new features work properly, a Global Administrator should sign in to Syskit Point and click Reconsent (1) on the shown notification.
Home Screen - Reconsent

- 1.Microsoft authentication screen opens asking you to Pick an account Select or sign in with the Global Administrator account
