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.
Set a user's emailAuthenticationMethod object. Email authentication is a self-service password reset method. A user may only have one email authentication method.
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)
UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite.All
Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)
Not supported.
Not supported.
Application
UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite.All
Not available.
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
