Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type Least privileged permissions Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account) Policy.Read.All and Policy.ReadWrite.ConditionalAccess Application.Read.All and Policy.ReadWrite.ConditionalAccess
Delegated (personal Microsoft account) Not supported. Not supported.
Application Policy.Read.All and Policy.ReadWrite.ConditionalAccess Application.Read.All and Policy.ReadWrite.ConditionalAccess

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts where the signed-in user is acting on another user, they must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation.

  • Security Administrator
  • Conditional Access Administrator

Note

This method has a known permissions issue and may require consent to multiple permissions.

HTTP request

POST /identity/conditionalAccess/policies

Request headers
