Course Title: Mastering Microsoft Graph API's OAuth, Mail, and Beyond with BEENUM LEARNING
Authentication and Authorization Basics 🔑
Microsoft Graph API is a powerful tool to interact with data from various Microsoft services. To leverage its capabilities, your application must first authenticate using the Microsoft identity platform. This process involves acquiring an access token that grants your app permissions to access specific Microsoft Graph resources and APIs.
- Register Your App: Before your app can use Microsoft Graph, it needs to be registered with the Microsoft identity platform in Azure portal. This registration step is crucial as it ensures your app's security and functionality.
- Application ID: A unique identifier for your app within the Microsoft identity platform ecosystem.
- Redirect URI/URL: The endpoints where your app will receive tokens from Microsoft identity platform. For native and mobile apps, these URIs are provided by the platform itself.
- Client Secret: A credential used to authenticate with the Microsoft identity platform for web apps (not required for native or mobile apps).
Understanding Permissions ⚖️
Microsoft Graph permissions define the level of access your app has to its resources like users, groups, and mail. As a developer, you'll need to decide which permissions to request for your app. These permissions are then consented to by a user or an administrator.
- Delegated vs. Application Permissions: Microsoft Graph distinguishes between two types of permissions:
- Delegated Permissions: Used when there is a signed-in user, allowing the app to act on behalf of that user. These permissions can be consented by users or administrators, with higher-privileged permissions requiring administrator consent.
- Application Permissions: For apps that don't use a signed-in user, like background services. Application permissions must be consented to by an administrator.
Effective Permissions Explained 🛠️
The effective permissions your app has when making calls to Microsoft Graph are determined by a combination of the permissions granted to the app and the privileges of the signed-in user or the app itself (for application permissions).
- Delegated vs. Application-Only Permission Scenarios:
- Delegated Permissions: The effective permissions are the least-privileged intersection of the delegated permissions granted to your app and the privileges of the signed-in user. Your app can never have more privileges than the signed-in user does.
- For instance, if a global administrator uses your app, it can update every user's profile. However, if a regular user signs in, your app can only update that specific user's profile.
- Application Permissions: Your app has the full level of privileges implied by the permission. For example, with
User.ReadWrite.Allapplication permission, your app can update every user's profile in the organization.
- Delegated Permissions: The effective permissions are the least-privileged intersection of the delegated permissions granted to your app and the privileges of the signed-in user. Your app can never have more privileges than the signed-in user does.
