I'm getting access denied errors when logging in with Azure AD

If you experience 'access denied' errors when logging in to Logit.io via your Azure AD credentials, there could be a number of reasons why this error message is displayed. However, it is likely that this needs to be resolved by the Administrator of the Azure account you are the user of. Advice on how to resolve two common errors are outlined below.

Instructions for the Account Administrator

Error 1- Generic Access denied

The user will see the 'Need admin approval' message and also receive an 'Access denied' message when trying to return to the application without granting consent.
