Reset Azure Ad user password through logic app

Riyanka Pawaskar 20

I am trying to update Azure Ad user password using logic app through Rest APIs however rest APIs seems to use authentication method I'd which I don't seem to find is there any other API that can update the user password without using authentication method ID or other option in logic app

Hi @Riyanka Pawaskar ,

Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A !!

Are you trying to use - Update User endpoint? If you are using this endpoint please make sure -

For Delegated access - Then the calling app must be assigned the Directory.AccessAsUser.All delegated permission on behalf of the signed-in user. For application-only access, the calling app must be assigned the User.ReadWrite.All application permission and at least the User Administrator Azure AD role.

Have you also tried using the Graph endpoint "/users/{id | userPrincipalName}/authentication/methods/{id}/resetPassword", however, you cannot reset your own password. Also, you need to be an Administrator with appropriate permissions to perform the same. This is available only for delegated work/school accounts. Please refer to the documentation over here

Please let me know if have any questions. Thanks.

Hi Riyanka Pawaskar

Thanks for reaching out on Microsoft Q&A!

It is possible to change an AAD user's password, however this can only be done through delegated access. Please refer to the API reference below:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-changepassword?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

When you need help in setting up delegated access, you can find all steps in this great tutorial I've found (and successfully used):
