hardwareOathAuthenticationMethod: assignAndActivate

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.

Assign and activate a hardware token at the same time. This operation requires the device ID to activate it.

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.

Permissions acting on self

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

Permissions acting on another user

Permission type	Least privileged permission	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Not supported.	Not supported.

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts where the signed-in user is acting on another user, they 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.

• Authentication Administrator
• Privileged Authentication Administrator
