Unconfigure OAuth Apps with Bulk Update List

This article provides essential insights and step-by-step instructions for administrators needing to bulk update app access within Google Workspace for Education.

Here are some scenarios where you'd want to use bulk update app access to unconfigure apps:

• Administrators often grapple with the limitations imposed by the 15,000 configured apps limit in the Google Workspace for Education domain.  
• Organizations may be burdened with numerous apps automatically configured as Limited, leading to potential access and management complexities.
• Apps configured at sub-OUs can result in policy inheritance issues and administrative challenges. Admins may seek to centralize configurations at higher-level OUs for better control.

How does it work

The Bulk Update List unconfigures OAuth apps through a CSV file, rather than directly in the Admin console.
