Usage info

This App Management API method denies an app install request, restricts an app for a specific workspace, or restricts an app across an entire enterprise. When restricted for the enterprise, an app can not be independently approved on particular workspaces, and any existing workspace-level approvals are voided. Restricting an app does not remove existing installations of the app, it only prevents future installation.

This method requires an admin.* scope. It's obtained through the normal OAuth process, but there are a few additional requirements. The scope must be requested by an Enterprise Grid admin or owner, and the OAuth install must take place on the entire Grid org, not an individual workspace. See the admin.apps:write page for more detailed instructions.

Exactly one of the team_id or enterprise_id arguments is required, not both.

Either app_id or request_id is required. These IDs can be obtained either directly via the app_requested event, or by the admin.apps.requests.list method.

Warnings

This table lists the expected warnings that this method will return. However, other warnings can be returned in the case where the service is experiencing unexpected trouble.

Warning	Description
`missing_charset`	The method was called via a `POST` request, and recommended practice for the specified `Content-Type` is to include a `charset` parameter. However, no `charset` was present. Specifically, non-form-data content types (e.g. `text/plain`) are the ones for which `charset` is recommended.
`superfluous_charset`	The method was called via a `POST` request, and the specified `Content-Type` is not defined to understand the `charset` parameter. However, `charset` was in fact present. Specifically, form-data content types (e.g. `multipart/form-data`) are the ones for which `charset` is superfluous.
