Permission update for the AI Administrator role in Entra ID

Since Friday, 18 September, Microsoft added, removed, and then re-added the permission microsoft.directory/oAuth2PermissionGrants/allProperties/allTasks to the AI Administrator role in Entra ID. It’s a privileged permission. Before 18 September, the role had only the permission microsoft.directory/oAuth2PermissionGrants/standard/read.

The AI Administrator role now has the permission microsoft.directory/oAuth2PermissionGrants/allProperties/allTasks
The AI Administrator role now has the permission microsoft.directory/oAuth2PermissionGrants/allProperties/allTasks

A review in the documentation shows 7 other administrator roles have this permission:

  • Application Administrator
  • Cloud Application Administrator
  • Global Administrator
  • Partner Tier1 Support
  • Partner Tier2 Support
  • Privileged Role Administrator
  • User Administrator

The permission gives admins control over delegated permission grants (OAuth2 permission grants). A delegated permission grant stores which permissions an application or agent may use on behalf of a signed-in user, either for one user or for all users in the organization.

Note:

  • The update does not cover application permission grants.
  • Users with the AI Administrator role can grant consent for delegated permissions. They cannot add, remove, or revoke permissions in the application.

An example of such a delegated permission grant:

Users with the AI Administrator role can now grant such consent
Users with the AI Administrator role can now grant such consent

Users with the AI Administrator role can now consent to delegated permissions themselves, which can reduce the need to involve other administrator roles.
