Grant consent
Open the consent screen
Clad registers an application for your organization alone and sends you a setup link that carries its application ID and your Microsoft tenant ID. Opening that link fills in the values below. Confirm they match the ones in your Clad onboarding email.
Your values
Fill these in and the commands and links in this guide update to match. Values are kept in this browser only and never sent to Clad.
Then open Microsoft's consent screen and sign in with an administrator account from your organization.
Review the requested permissions
Microsoft's Permissions requested screen shows the application as Clad for your organization's name, published by DocShield Inc. with Microsoft's verified publisher badge. If the name, the publisher or the badge is different, select Cancel and contact security@cladinsurance.com.

- 1The application name and its publisher. Yours reads Clad for your organization's name, with DocShield Inc. and the verified badge.
