My requirement is I need to add users/applications to Application Administrator Role.
As per the ms design, only Global Admin has permission to add assignments to this role. But I don't want to give the Global Admin to many members rather, I'm trying to create a custom role that grants them to add users/applications into the Application Admin Role.
When I tried to research more on the exact permissions. I found the below permission in Global Admin which I believe is needed for my requirement(custom role)
microsoft.directory/roleAssignments/allProperties/allTasks =>
Create and delete roleAssignments, and read and update all properties in Azure Active Directory.
However, the above permission is not able to use for any custom role
Is there any way to add the above permission to my custom role ?
So reached out to Microsoft support and they confirms right now the custom role is supported for the permissions including app reg and enterprise application. For role assignments, those permission aren't supported by custom roles.
My Workaround:
I created a group (security group) with role assignable and add that group to Application Administration Role. With this now I can manage the members (add/remove) from the group which inherited all the permissions from Application Administrator role

I have User Admin role assigned and just noticed that am not able to delete external users.
the user admin has right: microsoft.directory/users/delete and i guess that is not enough.
the global admin has right: microsoft.directory/users/allProperties/allTasks
Create and delete users, and read and update all properties.
Do you know if there is any other role that grants the right to delete external users? or am i missing here something?
I have User Admin role assigned and just noticed that am not able to delete external users.
You can check user admin roles here. As per document as shown in below image for this User admin role Delete or Restore users is not applicable.
As per your requirement Global Administrator has this delete user access privilege. Here you can go through Global Administrator rights.
there is any other role that grants the right to delete external users?
AFAIK the Global Administrator role is the only built-in role in Azure AD that grants the ability **to delete external users but If you do not want to assign the Global Administrator role but still you want to be able to delete external users, you can create a custom role and assign the "microsoft.directory/users/delete" permission to it.
In Azure You can create custom role in different ways like
~Using Azure portal.
~Using PowerShell
~Using CLI
To create custom role using portal check your custom role is enabled or disabled as shown in below image Select your subscription or Resource group >> Access control >> +Add >> Add Custom role.
Creating Custom role is bit complicated if you are ok with custom role follow these detailed steps in create custom role MS Document using Azure Portal.

what is a significance of "Users and groups" under EA?
adding a person will give same access to person as that EA?
adding a SP will do what? added SP will not have same access as EA?
Just creating the identity (User type or Service Principal) you will not give any role.
After you create the user, you can assign any role that you require to give to the identity.
Assign Azure AD
Sign in to the Azure AD admin center.
Select Azure Active Directory > Roles and administrators to see the list of all available roles.
Select a role to see its assignments.
To help you find the role you need, use Add filters to filter the roles.
Select Add assignments and then select the users you want to assign to this role.
If you see something different from the following picture, you might have PIM enabled. See the next section.
Select Add to assign the role.

Hopes this Helps!
The users and groups tab specifies who can access the application. This is based on the assumption that the app is 'closed' in the properties tab.
I need to create multiple users in same AD and need to isolate the resources created by one user from other user.Is it really possible.since I am new to Azure I am not aware that this is really possible.It would be great if some one render their hands to advice on this.
There is no absolute isolation, there are only certain restrictions.
The users created in the AAD tenant are all the Members by default, they have the default permissions e.g. Read all properties of groups, Read properties of registered and enterprise applications. So if user A created some resources e.g. group, application, the user B will also be able to read the properties of them.
There are some restrictions, like Manage properties, ownership, and membership of groups the user owns, Manage application properties, assignments, and credentials for owned applications. This means some properties of the resources can just be managed by the Owner of them.
For more details about the default user permissions, you could refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/users-default-permissions
And if the user is assigned as the admin role in the tenant, he will have more permissions than the default users, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/directory-assign-admin-roles
I'm trying to configure an ADF self-hosted integration runtime to be shared with another ADF in the same RG. I'm getting the following error:
(I removed the id specifics)
Error occurred when grant permission to [Object-ID]. Error: {"error":{"code":"AuthorizationFailed","message":"The client [My-Username] with object id [object-id] does not have authorization to perform action 'Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write' over scope '/subscriptions/[object-id]/resourcegroups/DataEngineering-RG/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/[Data Factory Name]/integrationRuntimes/[IR-Name]/providers/Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/[Role Object ID]' or the scope is invalid. If access was recently granted, please refresh your credentials."}}
Question- what role is required for me to be able to perform this action and at what level does that access need to be granted (eg. Subscription Level, RG level, ADF Level)?
Note: I have Azure Data Factory Contributor level access currently.
Thanks in advance
what role is required for me to be able to perform this action
You need the Owner or User Access Administrator role (maybe other roles, just check this doc, see the json file of each role, if the actions include Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write , it will be able to do the operation.)
You can also create a custom role which has Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write in its actions, it depends on your requirements.
and at what level does that access need to be granted (eg. Subscription Level, RG level, ADF Level)?
The three levels are all correct.
The RBAC role in Azure is inherited, e.g. if you assign the Owner role to your user account in the subscription, the account will also have the Owner role in all the resource groups/resources of the subscription. But if you just assign the user account in the ADF level, it will not be able to access other resources in the subscriptions.
So to fix the issue, just navigate to the ADF mentioned in the error message/RG/Subscription in the portal -> Access control (IAM) -> Add -> add your user account as an e.g Owner role, then it will work fine.
I want to delegate the 'MFA activities' to a group of people, because it is very difficult for only one person (Global administrator) to do this job. However, I do not see any built-in role for delegating the MFA responsibilities using RBAC.
Can anyone help me with this or help me in creating a custom RBAC policy?
I have queried the roles using powershell, but I do not get anything useful.
$role_definition = Get-AzureRmRoleDefinition | Format-Table Name, Description
It is a role of Azure Active Directory instead of the subscription. You can assign Authentication Administrator role(Allowed to view, set and reset authentication method information for any non-admin user.) to the users.
