Activating partner apps is similar to activating Palo Alto Networks apps but with a few important differences. When you first click on an app after it appears in your available apps,
  1. You are usually (but not always) prompted to log in to the app or to create an account with the app and then log in. The app should then walk you through the process for onboarding a new user.
  2. You are asked to
    Allow
    access to your data.
    If you don't allow access, the app cannot function correctly. For information about why an app is requesting permissions, refer to the product documentation for the app.
