Set 'Users can consent to apps accessing company data on their behalf' to 'No' (Manual)
Profile Applicability
• Level 1
Description
Require administrators to provide consent for the apps before use.
Rationale
Unless Azure Active Directory is running as an identity provider for third-party applications, do not allow users to use their identity outside of the cloud environment. User profiles contain private information such as phone numbers and email addresses which could then be sold off to other third parties without requiring any further consent from the user.
Impact
Enforcing this setting may create additional requests that administrators need to fulfill quite often.
