Delete appRoleAssignment

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Deletes an appRoleAssignment that a service principal has been granted.

App roles which are assigned to service principals are also known as application permissions. Deleting an app role assignment for a service principal is equivalent to revoking the app-only permission grant.

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

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:

• Directory Synchronization Accounts - for Microsoft Entra Connect and Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync services
• Directory Writer
• Hybrid Identity Administrator
• Identity Governance Administrator
• Privileged Role Administrator
• User Administrator
• Application Administrator
• Cloud Application Administrator

HTTP request

You can address the service principal using either its id or appId. id and appId are referred to as the Object ID and Application (Client) ID, respectively, in app registrations in the Microsoft Entra admin center.

DELETE /servicePrincipals/{servicePrincipal-id}/appRoleAssignments/{appRoleAssignment-id}
DELETE /servicePrincipals(appId='{appId}')/appRoleAssignments/{appRoleAssignment-id}

Note

As a best practice, we recommend you delete app role assignments using the Delete appRoleAssignedTo method which deletes through the appRoleAssignedTo relationship of the resource service principal, instead of this method.
