Permissions

The following tables show the least privileged permission or permissions required to call this API on each supported resource type. Follow best practices to request least privileged permissions. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permissions required for calling this API for entitlement management

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

Tip

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must also be assigned an administrator role with supported role permissions through one of the following options:

• A user who is specified in the specificAllowedTargets property of the access package's policies. This is the least privileged option.
• More privileged roles in the Entitlement Management system where the least privileged roles are supported for this operation:
  • Access package assignment manager
  • Access package manager
  • Catalog owner
• More privileged Microsoft Entra roles, where the following least privileged roles are supported for this operation:
  • Identity Governance Administrator

In app-only scenarios, the calling app can be assigned one of the preceding supported roles instead of the EntitlementManagement.ReadWrite.All application permission. A user who is specified in the specificAllowedTargets property of the access package's policies is less privileged than the EntitlementManagement.ReadWrite.All application permission.

For more information, see Delegation and roles in entitlement management and how to delegate access governance to access package managers in entitlement management.

For PIM for Microsoft Entra roles

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