While these integrations can be useful, they may also request access to institutional data such as email, files, and directory information.<\/p>\n<p>To reduce risk, Trinity is strengthening how third-party application access is reviewed and approved. This means some applications that were previously allowed may now be restricted, require additional approval, or be blocked entirely. Understanding what access is being requested\u2014and when to proceed or stop\u2014is critical to protecting both your account and Trinity\u2019s data.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s Changing<\/h2>\n<p>Trinity is implementing stronger controls around application permissions to reduce unnecessary access to institutional data. As a result:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some applications may now require IT approval before you can use them<\/li>\n<li>Requests for higher-risk permissions may be blocked or reviewed<\/li>\n<li>Previously connected applications may be reassessed and, in some cases, disabled<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These changes are designed to ensure that applications only have the access they need\u2014and nothing more.<\/p>\n<h2>Before You Approve Access<\/h2>\n<div>When prompted to connect a third-party application, take a moment to review the request:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Do you recognize and trust the application?<\/li>\n<li>Is it required for your academic or administrative work?<\/li>\n<li>Does the requested access match what the app is supposed to do?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Be especially cautious with applications requesting access to email, files, or shared data, as these may be subject to additional review or restrictions.<\/p>\n<h2>When to Stop and Ask<\/h2>\n<div>Do not approve an application if:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>You do not recognize the application or vendor<\/li>\n<li>The requested permissions seem broader than expected<\/li>\n<li>The request involves access beyond your own data<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In these cases, the application may require review or approval before it can be used. Contact Trinity IT for guidance rather than proceeding.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2>How Trinity Manages Application Access<\/h2>\n<p>Trinity actively reviews and restricts applications that request access to institutional data. High-risk permissions may be limited, require approval, or be blocked to protect the College. Most commonly used and approved applications will continue to work as expected. These changes focus on limiting unnecessary or high-risk access.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>For more details on how application permissions are evaluated, restricted, and monitored\u2014including examples of high-risk access\u2014visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trincoll.edu\/lits\/technology\/tech-support\/managing-third%e2%80%91party-apps-connected-to-trinity-accounts\/application-integrations-3rd-party\/\"><strong>Application Consent and Permissions<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Managing Third-Party Apps Connected to Trinity Accounts Many applications allow you to sign in using your Trinity account.
