Namespace: microsoft.graph

Get a list of the authenticationStrengthPolicy objects and their properties. This API returns both built-in and custom policies.

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)	Policy.Read.All	Policy.ReadWrite.ConditionalAccess, Policy.ReadWrite.AuthenticationMethod
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Policy.Read.All	Policy.ReadWrite.ConditionalAccess, Policy.ReadWrite.AuthenticationMethod

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.

• Conditional Access administrator
• Security Administrator
• Security Reader
