Install a Connected App
You install a connected app in your org 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.

- From Setup, enter OAuth in the Quick Find box, then select Connected Apps OAuth Usage.
- Select an app and click Install.
- Click Manage App Policies to get details about the app.
- Click Edit Policies to control the app’s security policies.
