Add externalSponsors

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Add a user or a group to the connected organization's external sponsors. The external sponsors are a set of users who can approve requests on behalf of other users from that connected organization.

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)	EntitlementManagement.ReadWrite.All	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	EntitlementManagement.ReadWrite.All	Not available.

Tip

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must also be assigned an administrator role with supported role permissions through the following option:

• A Microsoft Entra role where the least privileged role is Identity Governance Administrator. This is the least privileged option.

In app-only scenarios, the calling app can be assigned one of the preceding supported roles instead of the EntitlementManagement.ReadWrite.All application permission. The Identity Governance Administrator role is less privileged than the EntitlementManagement.ReadWrite.All application permission.

For more information, see Delegation and roles in entitlement management and how to delegate access governance to access package managers in entitlement management.
