# Limited Access App Approval

export const Link = ({href, children, className, ...props}) => {
  const localizedHref = localizeLink(href);
  return <a href={localizedHref} className={className} {...props}>
      {children}
    </a>;
};

Limited Access Integrations are automatically authorized for use in an enterprise upon
creation.

However, if the enterprise setting to
**Require manual Admin authorization for Limited Access Apps** is enabled,
an Admin must preform additional steps.

## Approval Notifications

A semi-automated process to submit an app approval is available in the Developer
Console.

Navigate to the **Authorization** tab for your application in the
[Developer Console][devconsole].

Submitting the application for approval will send an email to your
enterprise's Primary Admin to approve the application. More information on this
process is available in our [support article on app authorization][app-auth].

## Manual Approval

The following steps provide instructions on how to manually approve the
application.

### As a developer

1. Navigate to the **Configuration** tab for your application in the [Developer Console][devconsole].
2. Scroll down to the OAuth 2.0 Credentials section and copy the **Client ID** value to provide to a Box Admin.

Alternatively, hover over the application in the
<Link href="/guides/applications">My Platform Apps</Link> view to look up the **ClientID** and then
copy it using the `copy` button.

<Info>
  **Finding a Box Admin**

  If you don't know your enterprise Admin, go to your Box [Account
  Settings][settings] page and scroll to the bottom. If an admin contact is set
  you should see their contact  information under **Admin Contact**.

### As an Admin

As a Box Admin, navigate to the [Admin Console][adminconsole] and
select the **Integrations** > **Platform Apps Manager** > **Add Platform App**

</Frame>

In the popup that appears, enter the Client ID for the application that the
developer collected from the **Configuration** tab of the Developer Console.

## Re-authorization on changes

When the application's scopes or access level change the application needs to be
re-authorized. Repeat the process above and request a new Access Token for the
new changes to take effect.

In the same section where the application was initially authorized, an Admin
can re-authorize the application by clicking on the ellipses to the right
of the application name to **Reauthorize App**.
