In some cases, these apps can request broad permissions that allow them to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Access data beyond what is needed for their intended function<\/li>\n<li>Continue accessing data without clear visibility into how it is used or stored<\/li>\n<li>Operate in ways that could expose institutional information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To reduce these risks, Trinity actively reviews application access and identifies apps with permissions that may be considered high-risk.<\/p>\n<p>When unapproved applications are found to have elevated or sensitive permissions, they may be disabled, reviewed, and, if not approved, removed from the environment.<\/p>\n<h2>How Trinity Manages Application Access<\/h2>\n<p>Trinity monitors connected applications within its Microsoft environment and evaluates them based on the level of access they request.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Applications with sensitive or administrative-level permissions are flagged for review<\/li>\n<li>Unapproved applications may be disabled automatically<\/li>\n<li>Applications that do not meet Trinity\u2019s standards may be permanently removed<\/li>\n<li>Approved applications may be re-enabled following review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This process helps ensure that access to institutional data is controlled, appropriate, and aligned with the College\u2019s security and privacy expectations.<\/p>\n<h2>What This Means for You<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>If a tool you use stops working, it may require review and approval<\/li>\n<li>You may be asked to request access for new applications before using them with your Trinity account<\/li>\n<li>Not all third\u2011party apps will be permitted to connect to College systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For non-essential applications, consider using a personal (non\u2011Trinity) account instead of your Trinity account to avoid unintended data exposure.<\/p>\n<h2>Learn More<\/h2>\n<p>For additional details about how Trinity evaluates and manages application access, and how to request approval for specific tools, please visit: <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>What\u2019s Changing Some applications that connect to Trinity accounts may be restricted, removed, or require approval before use.
