Update externalAuthenticationMethodConfiguration

Article
2024-09-11

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Update the properties of an externalAuthenticationMethodConfiguration object.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	✅

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.ReadWrite.AuthenticationMethod	Not available.
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	Policy.ReadWrite.AuthenticationMethod	Not available.

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. Authentication Policy Administrator is the least privileged role supported for this operation.

HTTP request

PATCH /policies/authenticationMethodsPolicy/authenticationMethodConfigurations/{id}

Request headers

Name	Description
Authorization	Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization.
Content-Type	application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply only the values for properties to update. Existing properties that aren't included in the request body maintain their previous values or are recalculated based on changes to other property values.

The following table specifies the properties that can be updated.

Property	Type	Description
appId	String	appId for the app registration in Microsoft Entra ID representing the integration with the external provider.
excludeTargets	excludeTarget collection	Groups representing the users that should be excluded from the policy.
includeTargets	authenticationMethodTarget collection	Groups representing the users that are included in the policy and that can use the external authentication method.
state	authenticationMethodState	The state of the method in the policy. The possible values are: `enabled`, `disabled`.
openIdConnectSetting	openIdConnectSetting	Object representing the required settings for the OIDC request to the external provider.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 204 No Content response code.

Important

Microsoft Graph SDKs use the v1.0 version of the API by default, and do not support all the types, properties, and APIs available in the beta version. For details about accessing the beta API with the SDK, see Use the Microsoft Graph SDKs with the beta API.

For details about how to add the SDK to your project and create an authProvider instance, see the SDK documentation.
