This more of an admin question as far as where you might find this issue. I am working with an Azure AD web app and I am wondering what the Grant Permissions button does?
I made a test dummy MVC project to see what it did and when I grant permissions for my account for the current directory it makes the manifest unusable.
This is the view of my app in Azure AD app registrations. I've highlighted the Grant Permissions button that I am talking about.
This is the drop down I get when clicking on the Grant Permissions button. This is the part I really don't understand and need clarification on what it's doing when I say yes.
Basically, what can I do to undo the actions if I say yes to the Grant Permissions button for my app? But also, what exactly does the Grant Permissions do for my app? I am just a normal user in my Active Directory that has the ability to create apps in ad and edit the manifest.
Any help would be much appreciated and thanks in advance!
The Grant Permissions button in the Azure Portal will perform Admin Consent on the app you have selected.
Admin Consent can accomplish a multitude of things. There are two primary use cases.
If you're building a single tenant web app that calls admin and user scopes/permissions, it will consent for all users in that tenant. This will let the app call any admin scopes, and also suppress consent for all the users inside the tenant.
The other use case is to consent for app only permissions, which always requires admin consent.
The Azure AD How to build a multi tenant app doc has a great section on the meaning of admin consent.
I am not aware of any way to revoke admin consent. An individual user can revoke consent they've granted through My App.

I created an SSO application in the azure portal. As a global administrator I signed to my application with sso and I'm able to fetch the access token and graph details.
In our organization we need to allow few users to use this application. So I added their emails to the 'Users and Groups' in Azure portal. So When the users signed in,they allowed the consent permissions and then the below window appears. May I know the reason?
Is this normal or any kind of bug from side?
Is this window appear everytime once the user got approval ?
Please help me to solve this as I am going through a tough time.
It is not a bug and it is Admin Consent. You as a global
Administrator need to approve the concern from azure AD.
This window will appear only once and it will not appear once user log-in after consent next time.
Please go through Ms Document which has information of configuring Admin Consent.
It seems you are trying to use application permissions, since both shown permissions do not require admin consent for delegated permissions scenarios.
You can read about permission types at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/v2-permissions-and-consent#permission-types
If you want to review the configuration of your application you can turn to Azure AD. On page https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_RegisteredApps/ApplicationMenuBlade/CallAnAPI/appId/YOURAPPID/isMSAApp/ (replace YOURAPPID with your app id) you should see something similar to this:
If you at (1) have any of type "Application", these will require admin consent.
Regardless of whether you have any of such, you (required admin privileges) can grant application consent for the tenant using the button at (2).
I'm hoping someone has some insight into an issue I'm having with a newly registered app within Microsoft's Azure Portal (portal.azure.com).
My issue on login when I get the following dialog
The error code and message appears in the lower right corner;
AADSTS90094: This operation can only be performed by an administrator. Sign out and sign in as an administrator or contact one of your organization's administrators.
Configuration-wise, I believe I have this setup to not require admin consent, however there maybe something I'm missing.
My app is configured with;
Id Token, single tenant (web) application
Delegated, user consent permissions with no admin permissions
With the enterprise application, the configuration is set to;
Enabled for users to sign-in: Yes
User assignment required: Yes
Visible to users: Yes
4 users have been added with the Default Access role
Allow users to request access to this application: No (as they are assigned)
Last of all, within the azure directory itself under the Enterprise applications - User settings configuration I have set the company data user consent to Yes
When I navigate to either my application URL, or from the app within myapps.microsoft.com, both give me the above dialog requesting an admin consent.
I don't want to grant admin consent if not required, as it seems a bit like using a sledgehammer to solve the problem.
I feel like I'm either missing something big, or doing something silly - please help, and let me know if I can provide further information.
Edit 1.1:
My authentication request URL is: https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tenantid>/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?client_id=<clientid>&redirect_uri=<redirecturi>&response_mode=form_post&response_type=code id_token&scope=openid email profile offline_access User.Read User.ReadBasic.All Mail.ReadWrite&state=OpenIdConnect.AuthenticationProperties=<gibberish>&nonce=<gibberish>&x-client-SKU=ID_NET461&x-client-ver=5.4.0.0
(I'm using ASP.NET MVC combined with Microsoft's OpenId Connect authentication library)
When a user consents to an application which does not require assignment (in a tenant where user consent is allowed, and for an application requesting only permissions which do not require admin consent), two things happen:
Consent grants are recorded for the app, the user and the delegated permissions being requested.
The user is assigned to the app at a "default" app role.
The second step may seem surprising, but it serves a simple role: it ensures the user sees apps they've consented to in the Azure AD Access Panel (https://myapps.microsoft.com). (The Azure AD Access Panel will show a user all apps they are assigned to.)
It would defeat the purpose of the "user assignment is required" control if users could cause themselves to be assigned by triggering user consent. So, currently, when an application is set to require user assignment, users are simply not allowed to consent to the application.
Today, you have two options:
Ask an admin to grant tenant-wide consent for the application (e.g. Enterprise apps > Permissions > Grant admin consent, or App Registrations > API Permissions > Grant admin consent).
Configure the app to not require user assignment, and update the app's code to require the user be assigned to an app role by checking the "roles" claim.
I develop a program to sign in azure users,during the sign in,user need to consent the permission,but after that,how would a user revoke the consent?
On azure portal,I can't find somewhere user can revoke the permission.
I am new to azure,any help is appreciate.
You could revoke individual user consent through the My Apps Portal(https://myapps.microsoft.com/) . On that portal , for apps where you individually consented as a user, you can click "Remove" which will revoke consent for the application.
I would highly recommend you read this blog which explain more about revoking consent for Azure Active Directory Applications . This article also includes scenario for using the Azure Portal to remove tenant wide consent.
I am creating a maintenance app to read all group membership from AAD.
When I logged in as user, I am able to read all details -Users and Groups. When I use powershell to read users details - I am able to do. My user have access to read AD User and Group details.
When I try to assign the permission to AD App it needs admin consent to read other user/group details. Basically Azure Graph RBAC reading other details always need admin consent. I want to accomplish the task with my user impersonation to the AD App without asking admin consent. Multifactor authentication always block me when I try to automate it. any help!
If you're an administrator, you can also consent to an application's delegated permissions on behalf of all the users in your tenant. This will prevent the consent dialog from appearing for every user in the tenant.
You can do this from the Azure portal from your application page. From the Settings blade for your application, click Required Permissions and click on the Grant Permissions button.
More details about Grant permissions to an APP in Azure AD, refer to this document.
I have currently set up a AAD instance and I am authenticating my users against it via my web app, and it’s working great.
When I added and configured the application on AAD, I added the required Application and Delegated Permissions to access the Office365 Calendar API. However, the only thing that is missing is that during the login flow users aren’t being prompted to grant consent for the permissions, as it should happen from what I’ve read in your docs: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn132599.aspx#BKMK_Consent
I’m not sure what I’m missing. Apparently, from the docs,
After the user has signed in, Azure AD will determine if the user
needs to be shown a consent page. This determination is based on
whether the user (or their organization’s administrator) has already
granted the application consent. If consent has not already been
granted, Azure AD will prompt the user for consent and will display
the required permissions it needs to function. The set of permissions
that is displayed in the consent dialog are the same as what was
selected in the Permissions to other applications control in the Azure
Management Portal.
So maybe somehow I have already probably implicitly granted admin consent for those permissions, but I don’t know how that happened.
I've attached the permissions I configured on the AAD App.
Any help would be appreciated.
If an admin creates an application in their tenant using the AUX portal (manage.windowsazure.com), and requests permissions to other applications, then users in that same tenant are pre-consented for that application. Note this behavior is NOT true for our other App Registration Portals (portal.azure.com or identity.microsoft.com)
I believe this is why you are not seeing the consent dialogue when user's in your tenant are signing into your application. If you would like to push the consent dialogue experience, there are a few different things you can do:
You can use query strings to prompt "consent" or "admin_consent" during login. Check here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn645542.aspx
You can delete the service principal for your application from your tenant using AAD PowerShell. You can learn how to do that here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn194113.aspx
You can have a user from another tenant try to login to your multi-tenant application.
You can create your application under a non-admin account.
I hope this helps!

Try this:
What is the Resource parameter in Windows Azure AD tenant application oAuth 2.0 specification
Changing the resource parameter to https://graph.windows.net did the trick for me.
Furthermore, Microsoft support suggests disabling all permissions except "Enable sign-on and read users' profiles", apparently to avoid permission related problems. I understand that this is not a solution in your case, but at least it gives you a test case.
