How to exclude Robopack and Tenant Manager from multi-admin approval

A very recent Microsoft change means that any Graph calls will now be impacted by your existing multi-admin approval policies unless they are excluded from your policies. In practice this means that all app updates, device actions, policy restores — basically all functionality in our applications — would require an admin within the tenant to approve every action.

At Robopack, we decided this would not be a good experience for our customers, and would detract from the whole purpose of our applications: making your life easier. Fortunately, you can exclude our enterprise applications from the multi-admin approval policies. This guide walks you through it.

Without this exclusion, pushing out 10 apps and 30 policies would mean clicking approve 40 times. Excluding our applications keeps your automation running while leaving multi-admin approval in place for everything else.
