I have an azure function, that is backed by managed identity.
On the same AD there is office 365 with a SharePoint site called "demonews".
How do I add permissions/add the managed identity to the group "demonews" such it can access the SharePoint API?
I tried Add Member on SharePoint site, I tried on AD Group to add a member. The dropdown do not find a managed identity.
I think this what you are looking for:
https://finarne.wordpress.com/2019/03/17/azure-function-using-a-managed-identity-to-call-sharepoint-online/
Essentially you will get the azure service principal for office 365 SharePoint as well as the roles.
#Get the sharePoint principal
$sharePoint = (Get-AzureADServicePrincipal -SearchString “Office 365 SharePoint”).ObjectId
#Get the Roles for that principal
$appRoles = Get-AzureADServicePrincipal -SearchString “Office 365 SharePoint” | %{$_.AppRoles}
#Find the specific role
$appRole = AppRoles.Where({ $_.Value -eq "Sites.Manage.All" }
#You will also need to get the service principal for your function app
#Get the function app object id
$myfunctionapp = (Get-AzureADServicePrincipal -SearchString “myfunctionapp”).ObjectId
#assign the role to the MSI for the sharepoint resource
New-AzureADServiceAppRoleAssignment -ObjectId $myfunctionapp -PrincipalId $myfunctionapp -ResourceId $sharePoint -Id $appRole
You can then use the local MSI endpoint and secret to obtain a token.

Wrote the below script to get the MFA status for all admins.
Works well. But I want to run this using the credential of a service principal and looks like Connect-MsolService does not have an option to do that.
Alternatively, Connect-AzAccount has the option to do that but in Az Powershell I dont find a way to get the MFA details of the users.
Is there a way to get the MFA details of the user using service principal?
Connect-MsolService
$output_file_location = "c:\temp\azure_admins_mfa_status_"+$(get-date -f yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss)+".csv"
$admin_roles = "Company Administrator","Billing Administrator","Conditional Access Administrator","Exchange Service administrator","Helpdesk administrator","Password administrator","Security administrator","Sharepoint Service administrator"
# Gets all the members in the admin roles in the roles list above
# Gets the MFA status for each member
# Appends the below data points to a file specified in the $output_file_location variable
# DisplayName,E-mail,Role,MFA-Requirements, MFA-Methods, MFA-MethodsDefault
function get-mfs-status
{
foreach ($roleName in $admin_roles)
{
write-output $roleName
$members = Get-MsolRoleMember -RoleObjectId $(Get-MsolRole -RoleName $roleName).ObjectId
#write-output $members
foreach ($member in $members)
{
write-output $member.EmailAddress
}
foreach ($member in $members)
{
write-output $member
Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $member.EmailAddress | select DisplayName, `
#{N='E-mail';E={$_.userPrincipalName}}, `
#{N='Role';E={$roleName}}, `
#{N='MFA-Requirements';E={(($_).StrongAuthenticationRequirements.state)}}, `
#{N='MFA-Methods';E={(($_).StrongAuthenticationMethods.MethodType)}}, `
#{N='MFA-MethodsDefault';E={($_.StrongAuthenticationMethods | where isdefault -eq 'true').MethodType}} `
| select DisplayName,E-mail,Role, MFA-Requirements, MFA-Methods, MFA-MethodsDefault| Export-Csv $output_file_location -Append `
}
}
}

• No, you cannot retrieve the MFA details of the users in an Azure AD using service principal through powershell because service principal is generated for an instance of Azure resource, not an identity which has already been assigned an Azure AD role regarding the scope that has been defined with it. Thus, as an identity though of an Azure AD administrator has the scope of the whole subscription which hosts multiple tenants of your organization, has been defined with some roles and assignments pertaining to that scope. You can create a service principal with that ID logged in to Azure Powershell for the scope of your signed in ID but cannot retrieve the MFA status of users in Azure AD because when you pass the service principal in a variable to pass it as a credential and log in to the Microsoft 365 online, it cannot actuate them to the identity credentials and M365 doesn’t consider it.
Also, to get the status of MFA details of the users, you must connect to MS Online, you cannot retrieve it through Azure AD. Even if you convert the service principal secret in plain text and pass it as a credential to connect to M365, it doesn’t consider it nor it actuates the credentials.
• Instead, if you log into Azure/M365 using your actual credentials, i.e., ID and password, you will be able to retrieve the details provided you have the required role assignments and access.
Reference link for service principal usage: - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/create-azure-service-principal-azureps?view=azps-6.6.0
It's beta but how about that:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/reportroot-list-credentialuserregistrationdetails?view=graph-rest-beta&tabs=http
so the background as follows:
for installation and deployment process we need to modify a customer created App Registration.
but we get not the right Application.ReadWriteAll but we could get Application.ReadWrite.OwnedBy.
I know that if creating an Graph Api Call (excecuted with Postman) as shown below it worked, because Creator is automatically the Owner.
.
HTTP-Post Request:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/applications
with body:
{
"displayName": "AppRegName"
}
But I need to solution with standard tool like azure portal or powershell and I found no way to assign or remove a service principal as owner to an App Registration.
Is there a way to to do this with powershell?
The authentifiaction with an service principal i dont't know how I can do it?
I think after I can create an App Registration with
$appRegistration = New-AzADApplication -DisplayName "AppRegCreatebyPS"
but I very unexperinced in using powershell.
So how I can tell powershell to use the service principal authentitification for creating App Registrations?
A short extra question:
Can I remove later the owner role for the service principal and how can I do it?
Thanks for all Readers And I hope someone can give me a hint.
You can create App registration, Service Principal for App registration, Add application owner and remove application owner all from PowerShell AzureAD module.
Command to install Azure AD module in PowerShell:
Install-Module AzureAD
You can use the below commands :
#Connect to Azure AD
Connect-AzureAD
#Create Azure AD app Registration
$appRegistration = New-AzureADApplication -DisplayName "AppRegCreatebyPS"
# Create A service Principal for the above app Registration
New-AzureADServicePrincipal -AccountEnabled $true -AppId $appRegistration.AppId -AppRoleAssignmentRequired $true -DisplayName $appRegistration.DisplayName
# get objectid for the service principal
$serviceprincipal= Get-AzureADServicePrincipal -Filter "DisplayName eq 'AppRegCreatebyPS'"
#Get the old app registration for whom you want set owner
$oldappregistration = Get-AzureADApplication -Filter "DisplayName eq 'Postman'"
#add service principal to the application owner of old app registration
Add-AzureADApplicationOwner -ObjectId $oldappregistration.ObjectId -RefObjectId $serviceprincipal.ObjectId
# verify the owner for the old app registration
Get-AzureADApplicationOwner -ObjectId $oldappregistration.ObjectId
#remove the owner for the old app registration
Remove-AzureADApplicationOwner -ObjectId $oldappregistration.ObjectId -OwnerId $serviceprincipal.ObjectId
Reference:
Cmdlts for Azure AD module reference
This can be done like below from bash or windows subsystem linux.
Login to your Azure account
az login
Execute below command
az ad app owner add --id AAAA --owner-object-id AAAA
--id(Application id) , --owner-object-id (Owners object id)

I am trying to enable users logging in through Azure device code flow for a public Azure AD App.
I think the exception I am getting is quite straight-forward:
In my Azure AD Portal there is no option for adding Users/Groups (Azure AD->Enterprise Applications) unlike the Web apps however there is an option to enable User Assignment(which is what I want to achieve) which makes it more weird because it says If this option is set to yes, then users must first be assigned to this application before being able to access it.
How to assign users to the application if there is no option to do it from the AD portal? [ Azure documentation here ]
There are two options:
1.Navigate to the app registration in the portal -> Authentication -> set the Treat application as a public client to No -> go to the corresponding enterprise application -> Users and groups -> add the user -> go back to set the Treat application as a public client to Yes.
2.You can use the azure powershell New-AzureADUserAppRoleAssignment to add the user directly.
Assign a user to an application without roles:
New-AzureADUserAppRoleAssignment -ObjectId "<user objectid>" -PrincipalId "<user objectid>" -ResourceId "<service principal objectid(i.e. Enterprise Application objectid)>" -Id ([Guid]::Empty)
Assign a user to a specific app role within an application:
$username = "<You user's UPN>"
$app_name = "<Your App's display name>"
$app_role_name = "<App role display name>"
# Get the user to assign, and the service principal for the app to assign to
$user = Get-AzureADUser -ObjectId "$username"
$sp = Get-AzureADServicePrincipal -Filter "displayName eq '$app_name'"
$appRole = $sp.AppRoles | Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -eq $app_role_name }
#Assign the user to the app role
New-AzureADUserAppRoleAssignment -ObjectId $user.ObjectId -PrincipalId $user.ObjectId -ResourceId $sp.ObjectId -Id $appRole.Id
1: Is anyone aware of a tool that can manage the assignment of Roles for Azure AD Users (the appRoles defined in the manifest) for Enterprise Applications in Azure AD?
I am talking about how to Assign Roles (app specific) to existing Azure AD Users. It’s a very slow process using the Azure Portal for this.
Of course, we could create this tool, but would be nice if such a tool already exists. What are large organizations with many Azure AD Enterprise Apps using today?
2: Is it really best practice to manually edit the manifest file in the portal? Would make more sense to have the file (the AppRoles section) in git along the application code.
Is anyone aware of a tool that can manage Roles for Azure AD Users
AFAIK, there isn't any specific tool available to manage Application roles.
Overall, you should be able to use following options for add/edit/update options related to application roles and assigning permissions to existing AD Users:
NOTE: Also know in case you are dealing with a large number of users, you could consider assigning security groups to app roles instead of doing it for individual users. It's an option worth considering, although it requires an Azure AD premium license. (Update - Also see comment from Philippe Signoret at the end of this answer about assigning groups to app roles, delegating management of the assigned groups and self-service group management)
Azure Portal by editing application manifest json (you're aware of this already)
PowerShell -
I've added a script for this one at the end. You can do this while creating a new app using New-AzureADApplication or for an existing application using Set-AzureADApplication.
For assigning these roles to existing users, you can use New-AzureADUserAppRoleAssignment as I have shown below with the updated script.
Azure AD Graph API -
You can work with AppRole Type and Application entity for managing app roles themselves. Documentation here
You can work with AppRoleAssignment Entity for assigning these roles to existing Azure AD users etc. Documentation here
Microsoft Graph API -
Documentation here - Please notice this is available only in beta version - so it's not yet good for production applications.
Look here for working with App Role Assignments
For your production applications, you could read application roles from a json file (part of source control like git etc.) and feed that into one of the programmatic options like PowerShell or Azure AD Graph API.
Here is the PowerShell script. Also take a look at these SO Post where we discussed something similar but only in scope of PowerShell.
SO Post 1
SO Post 2 (This question discusses parsing json file and updating Application manifest using PowerShell)
Connect-AzureAD -TenantId <Tenant GUID>
# Create an application role of given name and description
Function CreateAppRole([string] $Name, [string] $Description)
{
$appRole = New-Object Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.AppRole
$appRole.AllowedMemberTypes = New-Object System.Collections.Generic.List[string]
$appRole.AllowedMemberTypes.Add("User");
$appRole.DisplayName = $Name
$appRole.Id = New-Guid
$appRole.IsEnabled = $true
$appRole.Description = $Description
$appRole.Value = $Name;
return $appRole
}
# ObjectId for application from App Registrations in your AzureAD
$appObjectId = "<Your Application Object Id>"
$app = Get-AzureADApplication -ObjectId $appObjectId
$appRoles = $app.AppRoles
Write-Host "App Roles before addition of new role.."
Write-Host $appRoles
$newRole = CreateAppRole -Name "MyNewApplicationRole" -Description "This is my new Application Role"
$appRoles.Add($newRole)
Set-AzureADApplication -ObjectId $app.ObjectId -AppRoles $appRoles
Once you are done with above script to add AppRole, then assigning roles to a user is pretty simple and a direct command is available. Here's a sample script for that -
# Assign the values to the variables
$username = "<You user's UPN>"
$app_name = "<Your App's display name>"
$app_role_name = "<App role display name>"
# Get the user to assign, and the service principal for the app to assign to
$user = Get-AzureADUser -ObjectId "$username"
$sp = Get-AzureADServicePrincipal -Filter "displayName eq '$app_name'"
$appRole = $sp.AppRoles | Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -eq $app_role_name }
# Assign the user to the app role
New-AzureADUserAppRoleAssignment -ObjectId $user.ObjectId -PrincipalId
$user.ObjectId -ResourceId $sp.ObjectId -Id $appRole.Id
Late response but possibly better late than never, Terraform has support for this:

I created a native app in Azure AD and I can't add users to it, because when I click the app, some navigation items (including Users and Groups) appear for a split second then disappear. How do I add users to the app?
You could do it with Azure Power Shell.
$appId = "your native app application id"
$user = Get-AzureADUser -searchstring "<Your user's UPN>"
$servicePrincipal = Get-AzureADServicePrincipal -Filter "appId eq '$appId'"
New-AzureADUserAppRoleAssignment -ObjectId $user.ObjectId -PrincipalId $user.ObjectId -ResourceId $servicePrincipal.ObjectId -Id ([Guid]::Empty)
Then, you could find the user on Azure Portal.
Note: Currently, it is not possible add users to native app on Azure Portal.
