What’s changing
To give end users more granular control over what account data they choose to share with each app, we’re changing how users give apps
permissions to access their information. See our Google Developers blog post for
more details on what’s changing. These changes may impact how well an app functions should a user choose not to provide certain permissions.
As a result, we recommend that G Suite admins
whitelist apps they trust and want their users to be able to use.
Who’s impacted
Admins only
Why you’d whitelist apps
Whitelisting an app means admins assign permissions at the domain level, and that end users don’t have to make choices on permissions for those apps. By whitelisting apps admins can ensure apps have the permissions they need to work properly.

Rollout details
Different apps will implement updated app permission controls at various times over the next several months. Some apps will make this change immediately, but the most commonly used apps will implement them after April 2019. To minimize disruption, we recommend admins
whitelist trusted apps before April.
G Suite editions Available to all G Suite editions.
On/off by default? Whitelisting apps is OFF by default. Apps can be enabled at the domain level.
