Create oAuth2PermissionGrant (a delegated permission grant)

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Create a delegated permission grant represented by an oAuth2PermissionGrant object.

A delegated permission grant authorizes a client service principal (representing a client application) to access a resource service principal (representing an API), on behalf of a signed-in user, for the level of access limited by the delegated permissions which were granted.

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)	DelegatedPermissionGrant.ReadWrite.All	Directory.ReadWrite.All
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	DelegatedPermissionGrant.ReadWrite.All	Directory.ReadWrite.All

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:

• Application Developer
• Cloud Application Administrator
• Directory Writers
• User Administrator
• Privileged Role Administrator

HTTP request

POST /oauth2PermissionGrants

Request headers

Name	Type	Description
Authorization	string	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of an oAuth2PermissionGrant object.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200-series response code and a new oAuth2PermissionGrant object in the response body. The following table lists the properties that are required when you create the oAuth2PermissionGrant.

Property	Type	Description
clientId	String	The object id (not appId) of the client service principal for the application which is authorized to act on behalf of a signed-in user when accessing an API. Required.
consentType	String	Indicates whether authorization is granted for the client application to impersonate all users or only a specific user. AllPrincipals indicates authorization to impersonate all users. Principal indicates authorization to impersonate a specific user. Consent on behalf of all users can be granted by an administrator. Non-admin users may be authorized to consent on behalf of themselves in some cases, for some delegated permissions. Required.
principalId	String	The id of the user on behalf of whom the client is authorized to access the resource, when consentType is Principal. If consentType is AllPrincipals this value is null. Required when consentType is Principal.
resourceId	String	The id of the resource service principal to which access is authorized. This identifies the API which the client is authorized to attempt to call on behalf of a signed-in user.
scope	String	A space-separated list of the claim values for delegated permissions which should be included in access tokens for the resource application (the API). For example, openid User.Read GroupMember.Read.All. Each claim value should match the value field of one of the delegated permissions defined by the API, listed in the oauth2PermissionScopes property of the resource service principal. Must not exceed 3850 characters in length.
