Create authenticationStrengthPolicy

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Create a new custom authenticationStrengthPolicy 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)	Policy.ReadWrite.ConditionalAccess	Policy.ReadWrite.AuthenticationMethod
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	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

HTTP request

POST /policies/authenticationStrengthPolicies

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 authenticationStrengthPolicy object.

You can specify the following properties when creating an authenticationStrengthPolicy.

Property	Type	Description
displayName	String	The display name of the policy to be created. Required.
description	String	The description of the policy to be created. Optional.
allowedCombinations	authenticationMethodModes collection	The authentication method combinations allowed by this authentication strength policy. The possible values of this flagged enum are: password, voice, hardwareOath, softwareOath, sms, fido2, windowsHelloForBusiness, microsoftAuthenticatorPush, deviceBasedPush, temporaryAccessPassOneTime, temporaryAccessPassMultiUse, email, x509CertificateSingleFactor, x509CertificateMultiFactor, federatedSingleFactor, federatedMultiFactor, unknownFutureValue. For the list of allowed combinations, call the List authenticationMethodModes API. Required.

Response

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