How Do I Manage the Ambition Connected App in Salesforce?

Last updated: November 12, 2026

Since September 2025, Salesforce blocks connected apps that haven't been installed in your org. Companies on the API-Only connection need a Salesforce admin to install the Ambition Connected App so users can continue authorizing it.

Required permissions:

  • The System Administrator profile in Salesforce is required to install and manage connected apps.

Install the Connected App

  1. In Salesforce Setup, search for Connected Apps OAuth Usage in the Quick Find box and select it.

  2. Next to the Ambition app, click on Install.

  3. Click on Install again on the installation page.

Choose Who Can Use the App

  1. In Setup, search for "Connected Apps" and select Manage Connected Apps.

  2. Click on Edit next to the Ambition app.

  3. Under OAuth Policies, choose an option from the Permitted Users drop-down menu:

    1. All users may self-authorize: Any user can approve the app the first time they use it.

    2. Admin approved users are pre-authorized: Only users with an approved profile or permission set can use it. Salesforce's security guidance recommends this option.

Note:

  • If you choose Admin approved users are pre-authorized, give the authorizing user's profile or permission set access first, or Ambition will lose its connection. This only applies to the API-Only connection.
