Allows the app to manage permission grants for application permissions to any API (including Microsoft Graph) and application assignments for any app, on behalf of the signed-in user.

Properties

Property Type Description
allowedMemberTypes array Specifies whether this app role can be assigned to users and groups (by setting to ['User']), to other application's (by setting to ['Application'], or both (by setting to ['User', 'Application']). App roles supporting assignment to other applications' service principals are also known as application permissions. The 'Application' value is only supported for app roles defined on application entities.
id uuid Unique role identifier inside the appRoles collection. You must specify a new GUID identifier when you create a new app role.
isEnabled boolean When you create or updating an app role, this value must be true. To delete a role, this must first be set to false. At that point, in a subsequent call, this role might be removed. Default value is true.
origin stringNullable Specifies if the app role is defined on the application object or on the servicePrincipal entity. Must not be included in any POST or PATCH requests. Read-only.
description stringNullable The description for the app role. This is displayed when the app role is being assigned and, if the app role functions as an application permission, during consent experiences.
value stringNullable Specifies the value to include in the roles claim in ID tokens and access tokens authenticating an assigned user or service principal. Must not exceed 120 characters in length. Allowed characters are : ! # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; = ? @ [ ] ^ + _ { } ~, and characters in the ranges 0-9, A-Z, and a-z. Any other character, including the space character, aren't allowed. May not begin with ..
displayName stringNullable Display name for the permission that appears in the app role assignment and consent experiences.
