            Install a Connected App

            You install a connected app by installing a managed package that includes the connected app as a component. For example, ISVs package connected apps to make them available on AppExchange. You can also install an OAuth connected app from the Connected Apps OAuth Usage page. This page lists all OAuth connected apps that users in your org are connecting to currently—including apps that developers created in other Salesforce orgs.

            Note
            Note Connected apps creation is restricted as of Spring ‘26. You can continue to use existing connected apps during and after Spring ‘26. However, we recommend using external client apps instead. If you must continue creating connected apps, contact Salesforce Support.

            See New connected apps can no longer be created in Spring ‘26 for more details.

            When an Install button appears next to a connected app, users in your org are connecting to the app but it isn’t installed in your org. To manage an app’s security policies, such as which users can access the app and for how long, you must install the connected app in your org.

            1. From Setup, enter OAuth in the Quick Find box, then select Connected Apps OAuth Usage.
            2. Select an app and click Install.
            3. Click Manage App Policies to get details about the app.
            4. Click Edit Policies to control the app’s access policies. See Manage Access to a Connected App.
