Create assignmentPolicies

  • Article

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Create a new accessPackageAssignmentPolicy object in Microsoft Entra entitlement management. The request includes a reference to the accessPackage that contains this policy, which must already exist.

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 one of the following options:

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 Access package manager 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.

HTTP request

You can specify the following properties when creating an accessPackageAssignmentPolicy.

Property Type Description
description String The description of the policy.
displayName String The display name of the policy.
allowedTargetScope allowedTargetScope Who is allowed to be assigned the access package through this policy. The possible values are: notSpecified, specificDirectoryUsers, specificConnectedOrganizationUsers, specificDirectoryServicePrincipals, allMemberUsers, allDirectoryUsers, allDirectoryServicePrincipals, allConfiguredConnectedOrganizationUsers, allExternalUsers, unknownFutureValue. Optional.

Response

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

Examples

Example 1: Create a direct assignment policy

A direct assignment policy is useful when access package assignment requests will only be created by an administrator, not by users themselves.

Request

The following example shows a request to create an access package assignment policy. In this policy, no users can request, no approval is required, and there are no access reviews.
