You need to send below the URL to Global Administrator to provide admin consent and return to the application without granting consent. 

https://login.microsoftonline.com/<TenantID>/adminconsent?client_id=d1e5e128-9660-4380-aabb-3e0061c1047c  

Refer go below link to get tenant-id for your organisation and replace in above URL.

If user is Global admin user, then the user will get a consent screen and user will need to accept the consent. 

 

Tick the checkbox for giving the consent on behalf of your organisation and click on the “Accept” button. This will redirect you back to Add Target Connection screen. 

If user is not Global Admin, then user will need to request Admin user to login and accept the consent for Proventeq Migration Accelerator application.
