Howto Add App Roles In Apps

Updated

After adding app roles in your application, you can assign an app role to a client app by using the Microsoft Entra admin center or programmatically by using [Microsoft Graph](/graph/api/serviceprincipal-post-approleassignments?tabs=http). Assigning an app role to an application shouldn't be confused with [assigning roles to users](../identity/role-based-access-control/manage-roles-portal.md).

Prepare User Source Of Authority Environment

Updated

If you’re planning to only change the SOA for some Active Directory users, and all your users are currently in a single OU using Kerberos applications that don’t use LDAP, we recommend that you create a new AD DS OU for these objects. Having them in a separate OU will enable you to avoid inadvertently making updates to them in Active Directory after the SOA change. Users, whose SOA isn’t changing, can continue to be managed using Active Directory Users and Computers, Active Directory Module for PowerShell, or other Active Directory management tools. After creating an OU, move the objects to that OU. For more information, see: [Move-ADObject](/powershell/module/activedirectory/move-adobject?view=windowsserver2025-ps&preserve-view=true).

Administrative relationships in Microsoft Entra Agent ID (Owners, sponsors, and managers)

Updated

The Microsoft agent identity platform introduces an administrative model that separates technical administration from business accountability, ensuring operational control and compliance oversight without excessive permissions. This document explains the administrative relationships for Microsoft Entra Agent ID identity types. This guidance applies to [agent identities](/graph/api/resources/agentidentity?view=graph-rest-beta&preserve-view=true), [agent identity blueprints](/graph/api/resources/agentidentityblueprint?view=graph-rest-beta&preserve-view=true), [agent identity blueprint principals](/graph/api/resources/agentidentityblueprintprincipal?view=graph-rest-beta&preserve-view=true), and [agent users](/graph/api/resources/agentuser?view=graph-rest-beta&preserve-view=true). The article covers owners, sponsors, and managers and their importance in maintaining secure operations.

Entitlement Management Roles

Updated

First, call [Create accessPackageResourceRequest](/graph/api/entitlementmanagement-post-resourcerequests?tabs=http) to add the Microsoft Entra role as a resource to the catalog.

Access Reviews Faqs

Updated

Once an access review starts, you can use the [contactedReviewers](/graph/api/resources/accessreviewreviewer) API to retrieve the list of all users who were, or would have been, notified via email to perform reviews. Even in scenarios where notifications were turned off, the API still provides the list of reviewers along with timestamps indicating when notification would happen.

Entitlement Management Scenarios

Updated

You can also manage access packages, catalogs, policies, requests, and assignments using Microsoft Graph. A user in an appropriate role with an application that has the delegated `EntitlementManagement.Read.All` or `EntitlementManagement.ReadWrite.All` permission can call the [entitlement management API](/graph/api/resources/entitlementmanagement-overview). For more information, see the [Tutorial: manage access to resources - Microsoft Graph](/graph/tutorial-access-package-api?toc=/azure/active-directory/governance/toc.json&bc=/azure/active-directory/governance/breadcrumb/toc.json). An application with the `EntitlementManagement.Read.All` or `EntitlementManagement.ReadWrite.All` application permissions can also use many of those API functions, except for managing resources in catalogs and access packages. An application that only needs to operate within specific catalogs can be added to the **Catalog owner** or **Catalog reader** roles of a catalog to be authorized to update or read within that catalog.
