Properties is shown from stable Microsoft Graph v1.0 metadata.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
addIns |
addIn collection |
Defines custom behavior that a consuming service can use to call an app in specific contexts. For example, applications that can render file streams can set the addIns property for its "FileHandler" functionality. This lets services like Microsoft 365 call the application in the context of a document the user is working on. |

apiApplication |
Specifies settings for an application that implements a web API. |
appId |
StringNullable |
The unique identifier for the application that is assigned to an application by Microsoft Entra ID. Not nullable. Read-only. Alternate key. Supports $filter (eq). |

StringNullable |
Unique identifier of the applicationTemplate. Supports $filter (eq, not, ne). Read-only. null if the app wasn't created from an application template. |
appRoles |
appRole collection |
The collection of roles defined for the application. With app role assignments, these roles can be assigned to users, groups, or service principals associated with other applications. Not nullable. |

Specifies the certification status of the application. |
createdByAppId |
String |
The appId of the application that created this application. Set internally by Microsoft Entra ID. Read-only. |
createdDateTime |

deletedDateTime |
DateTimeOffsetNullable |
The date and time the application was deleted. The DateTimeOffset type represents date and time information using ISO 8601 format and is always in UTC time. For example, midnight UTC on Jan 1, 2014 is 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z. Read-only. |
description |
StringNullable |
Free text field to provide a description of the application object to end users. The maximum allowed size is 1,024 characters. Supports $filter (eq, ne, not, ge, le, startsWith) and $search. |
disabledByMicrosoftStatus |
StringNullable |
Specifies whether Microsoft has disabled the registered application. The possible values are: null (default value), NotDisabled, and DisabledDueToViolationOfServicesAgreement (reasons include suspicious, abusive, or malicious activity, or a violation of the Microsoft Services Agreement). , , Supports $filter (eq, ne, not). |
displayName |
StringNullable |
The display name for the application. Maximum length is 256 characters. Supports $filter (eq, ne, not, ge, le, in, startsWith, and eq on null values), $search, and $orderby. |
groupMembershipClaims |
StringNullable |
Configures the groups claim issued in a user or OAuth 2.0 access token that the application expects. To set this attribute, use one of the following valid string values: None, SecurityGroup (for security groups and Microsoft Entra roles), All (this gets all of the security groups, distribution groups, and Microsoft Entra directory roles that the signed-in user is a member of). |
id |
String |
Unique identifier for the application object. This property is referred to as Object ID in the Microsoft Entra admin center. Inherited from directoryObject. Key. Not nullable. Read-only. Supports $filter (eq, ne, not, in). |
identifierUris |
String collection |
Also known as App ID URI, this value is set when an application is used as a resource app. The identifierUris acts as the prefix for the scopes you reference in your API's code, and it must be globally unique across Microsoft Entra ID. For more information on valid identifierUris patterns and best practices, see Microsoft Entra application registration security best practices. Not nullable. , , Supports $filter (eq, ne, ge, le, startsWith). |

homeRealmDiscoveryPolicies |
homeRealmDiscoveryPolicy collection |
Related homeRealmDiscoveryPolicies data exposed by this resource. |
identifierUris |
string collection |
Also known as App ID URI, this value is set when an application is used as a resource app. The identifierUris acts as the prefix for the scopes you reference in your API's code, and it must be globally unique across Microsoft Entra ID. For more information on valid identifierUris patterns and best practices, see Microsoft Entra application registration security best practices. Not nullable.

The collection of password credentials associated with the application. Not nullable. |
requiredResourceAccess |
requiredResourceAccess collection |
Specifies the resources that the application needs to access. This property also specifies the set of delegated permissions and application roles that it needs for each of those resources. This configuration of access to the required resources drives the consent experience. No more than 50 resource services (APIs) can be configured.

Specifies the keyId of a public key from the keyCredentials collection. When configured, Microsoft Entra ID encrypts all the tokens it emits by using the key this property points to. The application code that receives the encrypted token must use the matching private key to decrypt the token before it can be used for the signed-in user. |
tokenIssuancePolicies |
