Create historyDefinitions

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Create a new accessReviewHistoryDefinition object.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	❌

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	AccessReview.ReadWrite.All	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	AccessReview.ReadWrite.All	Not available.

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation.

• To write access reviews of a group or app: User Administrator, Identity Governance Administrator
• To write access reviews of a Microsoft Entra role: Identity Governance Administrator, Privileged Role Administrator

HTTP request

POST /identityGovernance/accessReviews/historyDefinitions

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of the accessReviewHistoryDefinition object.

The following table shows the required properties used to create an accessReviewHistoryDefinition.

Property	Type	Description
displayName	String	Name for the access review history data collection. Required.
reviewHistoryPeriodStartDateTime	DateTimeOffset	A timestamp. Reviews starting on or after this date are in the fetched history data. Only required if scheduleSettings isn't defined.
reviewHistoryPeriodEndDateTime	DateTimeOffset	A timestamp. Reviews starting on or before this date are included in the fetched history data. Only required if scheduleSettings isn't defined.
scopes	accessReviewQueryScope collection	Used to filter which reviews are included in the fetched history data. Fetches reviews whose scope matches with this provided scope. Required. For more, see Supported scope queries for accessReviewHistoryDefinition.
scheduleSettings	accessReviewHistoryScheduleSettings	Not supported yet. The settings for a recurring access review history definition series. Only required if reviewHistoryPeriodStartDateTime or reviewHistoryPeriodEndDateTime aren't defined.

Supported scope queries for accessReviewHistoryDefinition

The $filter query parameter with the contains operator is supported on the scope property of accessReviewScheduleDefinition. Use the following format for the request:

/identityGovernance/accessReviews/definitions?$filter=contains(scope/microsoft.graph.accessReviewQueryScope/query, '{object}')

The {object} can have one of the following values:

Value	Description
/groups	List every accessReviewScheduleDefinition on individual groups (excludes definitions scoped to all Microsoft 365 groups with guests).
/groups/{group id}	List every accessReviewScheduleDefinition on a specific group (excludes definitions scoped to all Microsoft 365 groups with guests).
./members	List every accessReviewScheduleDefinition scoped to all Microsoft 365 groups with guests.
accessPackageAssignments	List every accessReviewScheduleDefinition on an access package.
roleAssignmentScheduleInstances	List every accessReviewScheduleDefinition for principals that are assigned to a privileged role.

The $filter query parameter isn't supported on accessReviewInactiveUserQueryScope or principalResourceMembershipScope.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 201 Created response code and an accessReviewHistoryDefinition object in the response body.

Examples

The following example shows how to create an access review history definition scoped to access reviews on access packages and groups, running between the start date of 01/01/2021 and end date of 04/05/2021.
