appRole resource type

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Represents an application role that can be requested by (and granted to) a client application, or that can be used to assign an application to users or groups in a specified role.

To add, update, or remove app roles for an application, update the application for the app or service. App roles on the application entity will be available in all tenants where the application is used. To define app roles that are only applicable in your tenant (for example, app roles representing custom roles in your instance of a multitenant application), you can also update the service principal for the app, to add or update app roles to the appRoles collection.

With appRoleAssignments, app roles can be assigned to users, groups, or other applications' service principals.
