What’s happening?
The University of Oslo (UiO) has discovered that some users have connected their UiO Google accounts to third-party applications (external apps and services) that have not been assessed or approved by UiO for such integration.
To protect UiO’s data and your personal information, all access for unauthorized third-party apps to UiO Google accounts will be terminated on November 1, 2025.
What does this mean for you?
This change only affects users who have received an email notification regarding the matter. If you have not received the email, no action is required.
